Emergency , open-heart surgery for Enrica Bonaccorti . The presenter herself tells it in a long post on Facebook , accompanied by a photo taken from the bed of the Gemelli hospital in Rome.

« Another two months and I would have died . One day at the beginning of July I started to have a terrible itch everywhere, my whole body became bright red in spots, I looked like that burnt little girl running away from Hiroshima."

«I hadn't changed anything in my diet or medications, I hadn't taken any sun - continues Enrica Bonaccorti - in short it was just my body screaming that something was wrong . Obviously I get myself thoroughly checked by a doctor who finds a stone in one of my kidneys (which by the way had never given me any pain). However they decide to intervene, after all it is a banal operation, but the cardiologists, Prof Leo, Prof Saglia, and Prof Giulio Speciale, together with Doctor Quintarelli, come to me the next day with dark faces to tell me that there is there's something wrong with the heart, a CT scan is needed, then a coronary angiography, from which they establish that my arteries are all blocked , a couple of months and I could have left."

«Doctors first think about stents – continues Bonaccorti – but they are not enough. 4 bypasses are needed, taking veins from the legs to reconstruct an alternative route that brings blood flow to the heart. It will be an open heart operation, which lasted a total of eight hours ! Moral of the story: they told me that I had great luck, an accidental discovery that saved my life, also because I was entrusted to Prof. Massimo Massetti, director of the cardiovascular sciences department of the Gemelli Polyclinic, who together with Dr. Lauria and his team operated on me. I owe my life to them. And also the quality of life that they have made me live from early July to now."

The actress and presenter then thanks those who cared for her, «wonderful people – she explains – their humanity in taking care of me allowed me to overcome the pain, worries, accidents that the thinness of my sternum caused . I have always felt in capable and affectionate hands , I will never be grateful enough to Prof Massetti and to every single nurse who took care of me. Started at Paideia, then at Mater Dei, both at the Gemelli Polyclinic, up to the ARS bio Medica, the last step of this long journey, where Prof. Mancone with rehabilitation and Dr. Chiariello, the prince of my reconstruction on the sternum, are helping me helping to return to you."

«Take advantage of my experience, control yourself as much as you can – the conclusion – hoping above all that you have the same luck as I had! I can't wait to see you again! I hope as soon as possible."
