Michela Murgia and the photo from the hospital: "Here's what I would like to say to those who ask me how I am"

A photo and a message to tell how he is.

Michela Murgia published the shot from the hospital: «I receive many messages every day, all affectionate (I don't see the others, I have developed a happy selective blindness) but I can't answer everyone – she writes on Instagram -, because they are often trivially too tired. I go to the hospital a little more often, sometimes suddenly because the body surprises me and yesterday I was short of breath due to too much liquid in the nooks and crannies of the tissues. However, the level of care provided by our health system has so far allowed me to always go home feeling better».

And to those who ask her how she is, here is the answer the writer, suffering from stage four cancer, would like to give: «The one Cesare de Michelis gave: I can get better, but I can no longer be “well”. 'Better' is still preferable to bad, so enjoy it with me."

«I don't like posting photos from the hospital, but I don't want to hide that I go there either, because this is also what people who are treated do and we just have to be thankful for being able to do it, in defiance of those who demonize tax payers. Thanks for the messages, stop sending food to Cambio, though: I can't eat all the sweets from the south, the cheeses from the Po valley and the wines from the Veneto. I'm not growing up anymore."
