She can be seen resting on a walker, getting out of a bed with what looks like bruising on her chest, and treatments inside a hyperbaric chamber. She captioned the post, “Thank you to those who care for me and send me their messages. Empathy is a gift, a manifestation.”
She added her voice over the video where she says in Spanish, “I am a learner in this life, not a victim. Here I am with the overwhelming strength of a heart that does not give up because I am a warrior by nature, and I congratulate myself for how brave I have been in these moments.”
