Ayşenur Yazıcı shared her experiences after spending a long time in intensive care. She talked about how her illness began and what she went through after leaving the intensive care unit.
Famous broadcaster Ayşenur Yazıcı had spent a long time in intensive care due to an illness she suffered months ago. After recovering from the treatment she received, Yazıcı shared her difficult days in tears during the program she attended.
Yazıcı, who was a guest on Mine Özbek's YouTube channel, recounted how her illness began and what she experienced after leaving intensive care.
"THE ILLNESS CAME SUDDENLY"
Speaking about her illness, Ayşenur Yazıcı said:
"I wasn't a very healthy woman. I was just an ordinary person like everyone else. I didn't have a coronary condition for a 65-year-old woman. I don't have diabetes. I only had COPD. The damage I did to myself during the time before I quit smoking. My lungs were in bad shape because of smoking. I practice Aikido, and once a week I develop some methods to defend myself, both for my energy and my connection with the universe. I don't drink alcohol, I don't have bad habits. I'm obsessive. The moment I said, 'Oh, I will enjoy my retirement,' during a check-up, the aorta coming from the heart splits in two. There is a crack in the aorta going to the right kidney, and a clot blocking that crack is seen. The doctor said we should put a stent like a ticking time bomb.
"I DON'T REMEMBER AFTER THE SECOND SURGERY"
I stayed in intensive care for 4 days. Everything was fine, and they discharged me. Less than a week later, my blood pressure was 22, I thought I was going to die, my brain was going to explode. It felt like someone was blowing air into my brain from the inside, and my head was swelling. I went to the emergency room. They gave me medication to lower my blood pressure through an IV and sent me home. 5-6 different specialists pulled me in different directions and gave me different medications. After the holiday, I went to my own doctor, and they said the stent had slipped. They took me for a second surgery, but I don't remember anything after that. I was inside for 7.5 hours.
"I TOLD MY SISTER, IF I'M DEAD, TELL ME"
I started to remember from the 15th day onwards. I began to understand where I was. One day, I told my sister, 'Neşe, I died, aren't you telling me?' I laughed at what I said. Because if I was dead, I should be on the other side, but they say that if someone they love and care about is left behind, they can never pass through the limbo. I felt like I had died, and my body was there, but I was living somewhere else, reviving it. I said, if I'm dead, tell me so I can go. Neşe said, 'No, sis, look, you're eating minced potato.' It's not a pleasant thing psychologically.
"DYING IS NOT EASY"
After leaving intensive care, Yazıcı expressed that she understood what death was like due to a problem she experienced while in the hospital, and with tears, she said, "Dying is not easy."
"I LEARNED TO WALK AGAIN"
Yazıcı, who stated that she had to learn everything again, said, "It was very difficult. I learned to walk again. I couldn't use my hands. I couldn't walk backward," she expressed.
