When we traveled to Havana, Cuba, in November of 2019, we had no idea that a whole year would go by without us being able to travel and perform life-changing operations. In the month of giving thanks, patients Teresita and Pavel messaged us to let us know how they are doing post-surgery:
“We do not forget you, we follow on Facebook everything you do and we share it with pride. You are always present in our thoughts with a very important place in our hearts. You just celebrated Thanksgiving, which gives us one more opportunity to thank you for what you do for humanity. I am already at one year after my operation and I am very happy. A big hug for you and the dedicated team of doctors, nurses, physiologists, and all the staff.
Hugs and kisses.”Teresita Fernandez
“Dear Friends of Operation Walk,
It is a pleasure to write this. I hope all of you are safe. It has been a terrible year in many places. As you know, I underwent a hip surgery in November of 2019. It has been almost a year. From day one, I have felt fine. I can walk very well. I can tie my shoes. I can drive. I do exercises every day. In short, I am living a normal life and I am really happy. I will be grateful for the rest of my life. You are fantastic people who deserve every help you need to keep doing what you do. Please, keep helping people. Before saying goodbye, I would like to thank Dr. Richard and his great team. My family really appreciates what you did for me. Good luck. Sincerely.”Pavel Machado
