He participated in numerous fictions of Argentine television but those that earned him the most renown in his childhood and adolescence were under the tutelage of Cris Morena. You knew him as “cork” in Chiquititas, as Guido in Rebelde Way or as “robe” in Floricienta. Today, he embodies Tony in “a rooster for Aesculapius.” Yes, we’re talking about Diego Mesaglio.
The well-known actor suffered a domestic accident years ago that left him with no vision in his left eye. On Saturday 25th he attended Andy Kusnetzoff’s program, “We can talk”, and he told us about the experience. At the consultation of whether he had ever felt that he was dying, the actor replied that yes, on two occasions: “I had a domestic accident where the biggest problem was not the accident: I put the bottle of alcohol on the bathroom ledge and I supported it badly. When it falls to this side and I grab it, the jet of alcohol comes out that goes right into the eye. ” I went to a clinic where I didn’t have the best attendance, they didn’t wash me well. The doctor gave me the jar of anesthesia and told me the magic words ‘ when it hurts you put yourself ‘. When I got home, my eye was burnt and I was still in alcohol, and every half hour it hurt. All night long I almost emptied a doorknob, then I found out it was a drop every 12 hours. Between the alcohol that was burning and the excess anesthesia was that I burned the cornea, “he continued.
The interpreter said that currently it is in the Hospital of clinics and that already went through 7 operations: “After the last operation that was that I grabbed a virus in the eye and that is within the 17 worst infections that can have the human being because it goes from the eye to the Head in hours. It was automatically disallowed to recover the vision to kill the infection that lasted 6 months, 2 during which I was putting drops every 15 minutes for 24 hours, so the most I could sleep was 14 minutes. ” Above all this, he added that he became “five days without sleep of ardor, of pain. That’s one of the times I thought I was dying. ”
“The other was after the last operation that lasted 3 hours and a half, I had an emergency cornea transplant, I refused because of this infection and on December 25th I went out at 12.05 at night and there I felt something. I’m not talking about the light tunnel or anything, I’m just talking about a chest pressure. He felt he wanted to do something and could not, “he added. Currently, Mesaglio is on a waiting list for a corneal transplant that could return 60% of his vision.
