was just one time for dinner. The talk had begun perhaps as all pointing to one side and immediately took a new and different course. The whole story had its charm, but what is new and attractive was coming. I had commented that his life was tinged with various situations and intense it. His career as an analyst on several occasions made it known worlds and people who had never imagined, but after interacting with them, met quite new aspects of life and above all on him.
He told me that for some time and who was attending a patient who had a terminal illness, was a young gentleman-just turned fifty years, married with two daughters and a wife who loved and that she also felt the same about her husband. Both professionals. They lived in a very beautiful and the minor problem that was suffering the greatest economic and spurs, could not be solved just with money.
terminal disease came raging every day there was a greater inability to move, getting her hands reaching for objects, doing paperwork and many other activities where mobility is required. Was never alone, the love of his wife and daughters were at every moment, but only He knew the immense pain he caused prostration.
specialist who was not consulted, nor money to spare, all in search of a word to say something more.
All were part of the disease, all participated in each and every one from his place, contributed what I could in terms of bringing "something" that will stimulate some as many others.
The early stages of analysis were not so terrible that it happens in most patients in these conditions, but here the commitment of all from the first day, was the most absolute devotion to what is to come, if this was to improve relationships of all and in particular provide the patient with a glimmer of hope of life he craved.
was weird, "recalls the analyst-that being people of both money and very young, have never traveled to Europe, because the patient was a lover of museums and art history. However, had never made a trip to visit the spot from a distance what is admired.
The clinical condition of the patient had suffered a complication, a new "sample" of the disease had been present and all indicated that there would be another transaction, because doctors understood that the bear and also was likely to leave sequelae to the point that they "would play" very sensitive issues at the neurological level. Thus rejecting any surgical intervention.
Discouragement had seized all but his.
In that conversation with the analyst, he felt the anxiety of thinking in the new proposal, travel and experience the museums he so admired.
A point was the desire not only took a minute and started talking about that trip was due a lifetime and why not do it now, despite the new "shows" that visited him.
picked up the phone, started calling travel agents and in a few days, the analyst's idea took shape. Everything was organized, from the insignificant-that rarely arises in a trip-to the places they would visit, means of transport to use for this purpose, etc.
The day came, they departed. That fear of panic that caused the planes, almost disappeared, that stillness when moving from one place to another, did not notice, all exceeded the desire.
arrived in Europe, stayed, traveled, met all the museums that could be transferred to local buses to get to know the heart of cities, they used trains to cities and subways, nothing left undone.
was an unforgettable experience. The best forty-five days of their lives, as all members traveled.
The return was done with the phobia of planes always pursued. He was not alone, if the former, since even today continue to travel to Europe twice a year and that "sample" of cancer disappeared. Just because you might desire.
