Cada vez que sale una noticia de estas me doy cuenta de que me voy a tener que acostumbrar a leer cosas así. 

Terrible.
Aunque pensaba que era más joven, enganchar una enfermedad de estas a los 60 es una gran putada para cualquiera... y si la batería es tu vida, ya no te digo.

Que putadón, espero que pueda controlar los efectos de la enfermedad y no le afecte demasiado a su vida.
