Antonio had a pole inserted in his thigh
Antonio revealed the severity of the injury he suffered, adding: “I broke my femur bone in four different places.
“I had a single lock hole surgery.
“My first surgeon said he didn’t want me to get weight on my leg for three months, which is about now, and you can see that I walk.
“We obtained a second specialist who said that I had to start putting weight on it, going from 10% to 100% in the three weeks.
“But I kept my crutches for two additional weeks.
Fear of not seeing children grow up
Antonio has six children and admitted that the greatest fear he had immediately was the idea of not seeing them grow.
“The most difficult part is that I was hardly there for my children,” said Antonio. “It made me happy, positive about life, because I have another chance of living.
“During that, we kept him away from the children.
“So he went down and saw me in the hospital. But the youngest, they never really knew how bad the situation was.
