Complications in Joaquín Torres' recovery after his fourth operation: "My body can't take it anymore"

Joaquín Torres, in addition to being a well-known architect, became one of the most prominent collaborators of Antena 3 on his own merits. From Espejo Público to And Ahora Sonsoles, he has been gaining minutes and notoriety on the small screen in San Sebastián de los Reyes . However, for four months his life has suffered a complicated turnaround, derived from a motorcycle accident that occurred in December.

Torres was hit while riding his motorcycle and has had to undergo surgery up to four times. During his convalescence he has suffered several complications and setbacks on a personal level, such as the death of his mother in March. This Thursday afternoon, the creator of different buildings connected live to the Sonsoles Ónega program from his hospital bed, commenting on how his situation feels increasingly worse.

It all happened two weeks before, when his doctor Ángel Villamor contacted him to rule out a possible bone infection, since the hip had been the most affected part of his body in the accident. Three very high indexes in the blood tests foreshadowed the possibility that Torres was in poor condition, even going so far as to undergo an MRI to rule out a brain tumor.

This fact made the architect fed up with the situation, although Villamor ended up convincing him to have surgery this past Monday. The infection was eventually confirmed after the operation that allowed him to place a substructure in the hip. Although the patient classified it as “excellent,” he began to cry when he learned that he had to return to the hospital and be treated with intravenous antibiotics during the surgery. next two weeks.

“What had been discarded, I have it. It has manifested itself in the plates that they put on me four months ago to reshape my hip, which has not been possible,” he explained, confirming that the cultures carried out two weeks before gave their results during this same Thursday day. Torres himself began to cry in a state of shock when he found out, and he contacted his relatives to communicate his annoyance at what had happened.

“I started crying, I can't take it anymore,” he commented to Sonsoles. This bone infection is added to the death of his mother and the relationship problems with Raúl Prieto, of which she has already expressed herself previously. “I try to be positive for myself, for my children and for Raúl, but the pain and loss of my mother has me in a hole from which I cannot get out, but I will get out,” she declared in the same program at the beginning of the month.
