He may be very small, we only see him, this pin pinned to his gray dress.
A mini pink heart that heals his wounds.
After several days of hospitalization, Sabrina Lamérant-Leduc is finally back home, in Hazebrouck, a city of red bricks, 40 minutes from Lille (North).
“I would like to tell you that I am an exceptional case because I won the lottery twice, but no, it is because I had two Takotsubo!
»Exclaims this quadra, optimistic in front of the Eternal.
Takotsubo, an atypical Japanese name, for a syndrome that is just as much: that of "broken heart".
Under the effect of an emotional shock, the palpitant swells as long as one part can no longer contract: risk of insufficiency, embolism, even death.
Sabrina, a souvenir seller in neighboring Belgium, experienced it when she was 30 and then 40 years old.
Ten years ago, the whole family gathered to celebrate the communion of one of her nieces.
She and Sylvie, the eldest of the four sisters, are particularly dressed, as the last photo of the two sisters testifies.
But in the middle of the dances and the queuleuleus, Sabrina worries: "Where is Vivie gone?"
Without explanation, her sister's heart gives way, and will stop definitively a few days later, barely 36 years old.
An indescribable pain for her younger sister but that her body will indeed materialize.
While Sylvie dies, Sabrina is hospitalized, her organ has paralyzed.
“I was told Takotsubo, but I didn't care that much.
When I left intensive care, I buried my sister, I didn't have the mind to do Google searches!
She says, the head of Nelson, her spaniel, resting on her knees.
"I think you can call the fire department"
Then ten years pass, between mourning and an intense desire to bite into life.
With Jean-François, her "lover" since college, Laly and Elza, her adored daughters, Francine, her mother with whom she shares a coffee, at 5.30am every morning, before "hiring" at the store.
But two weeks ago, an intense back pain woke her up.
Something is wrong, and the night “shoot” of Bach Flowers does not change anything.
"I think you can call the fire department," she slips to her husband.
The sequel has an air of déjà vu, intensive care, cardiology department, afraid that everything will end.
"You have a strong tako," announces the doctor.
Understand, with consequences.
In her kitchen, now enthroned the boxes of a medicine that the tall slender brunette will have to take for life.
"My sister's experience saved my life"
“What I was right to listen to myself!
Sabrina said today.
We women tend to say:
two Doliprane and it will be okay
.
My sister's experience saved my life, ”she is convinced.
But why there?
“I'm stressed, but like a lot of people, right?
You just have to know that it can fall on you, ”she insists.
Like his, the number of cases has multiplied during the Covid-19 period, to the point that doctors are sounding the alert.
“I admit that I was very disappointed to have to cancel the winter holidays with our group of friends.
And then, with the arrival of the variant, I said shit,
I serve a lot of English customers at the store
.
Not to mention that I miss having not kissed my parents for a year so much, ”she lists.
“It all hurt my heart.
Sabrina doesn't think so well.
