One of the hardest things in life is when a family member doesn't recognize their own. The sick are losing their faculties, they forget if they have eaten, if they have slept, if they are cold or hot. It's really to check how they slang. His gaze is losing meaning, he sinks to the ground. It costs more and more for them to speak. It's called alzheimer and it's the disease that David Bisbal wanted to show us in an exciting video that is circulating on social networks.
"Do you know who I am?", the singer asks his father. silence "They told me you were a boxer", he adds. First answer: "And of the good ones", his passion does remind her. Bisbal, used to the disease, knows how to treat it: "My father was also a boxer". "What was his name?", he asks. "José Bisbal Carillo", answers the son. "This is me," says Mr. José. "Esclar, it's you. It's because you're my father. That you don't remember me. I know you don't remember me, but I do remember you", affirms the artist.
The brain of these patients is not able to recognize children or grandchildren, but it is able to recover that long-term memory to remember some detail of youth, a poem or a song. Bisbal's father does not know who David is or why he is there, by his side, but he does keep the lyrics of "Ay Almería, Almería tierra noble/ fuente de la inspiración...".
No family chooses that one of their own may fall ill with Alzheimer's or senile dementia. No one chooses to have a dependent at home or have to move them to a nursing home. Some see the involution in the patient and others are presented with bad luck one unfortunate morning or afternoon. We must speak clearly: the system in Spain is not prepared for someone with few resources to care for a dependent.
David Bisbal is lucky in this respect, but there are thousands and thousands of families who are not. This is why it is essential to raise, together with research, the investment in care. shield her Not to add more suffering, in short, to what is the burdensome burden of seeing a father or mother in this situation.
It is not normal for receiving a dependency benefit to involve more than a year and a half of procedures. If Spain wants to be a first division country, it must take care of those who have given us everything to be what we are.
