My aunt Josefa is blond and thin. Her appearance was rather sloppy, but she was a good natured and funny person.  She was a great student at high school too. After that she studied medicine at UBA, and she finished the career with top grades. She started to work at Gandulfo Hospital. She seemed destined for great success, but then everything changed.

She was very stressed.  Her eyes were unfocused and her face was grey, because she was working around the clock, day in, day out. She was very unhappy, because she couldn’t see her children playing football. One day, when she was driving along Maximo Paz, she turned to the left, but my aunt didn’t see the truck in front of her.

She crashed and almost broke her knee. She went to the hospital in order to get radiography of her knee. Some days later, the doctors saw something strange in her body. They discovered that she had cancer, so she went through a surgery to remove the tumour. Luckily, the surgery was successful.

Now she is really happy, she only works during the week and has all the weekend free to be with  her family. She has the spring in her step. Her life has changed a lot since her accident in January.
