Folha columnist Zeca Camargo, 59, used his Instagram to update followers about his health after undergoing emergency surgery this week. On Tuesday (21), the journalist underwent surgery for a detached retina.
This Saturday (25), he talked about how he is and how his vision was after the surgery.
“I’m better. First because of the care of one of the most amazing and attentive ophthalmologists I’ve ever met. Wonderful science… But besides that, what makes me stronger every minute are the messages of affection that come. I knew you would respond with the same consideration that I dedicate here in this space”, he wrote.
Zeca continued in the post: “But this love, this dedication that you showed here exceeded all expectations. And so I recover little by little. The vision of the right eye is still, how can I explain it? Liquid! trauma-free and confident. Soon we will resume our exchange here. And it will be even more amazing. More transparent. More crystalline. Thank you a thousand times. How wonderful it is to feel embraced by so many nice people!”.
On Wednesday, he explained why he was wearing an eye patch. “I underwent surgery on my right eye yesterday. Diagnosis: retinal detachment. Solution: immediate operation. Everything resolved, super successful procedure – and I’m already at home resting until the weekend. That means I’ll be away this space for a while. But I know that we remain strong believing in the wisdom, in the culture, in the brilliant minds that we always celebrate here”, he wrote at the time.
