Argentine influencer and former "Gran Hermano" contestant Denisse González is facing a serious health challenge but is determined to maintain a positive outlook. Hospitalized for a week due to alarmingly low platelet counts, González shared a video of herself meticulously following a self-care routine in her hospital room, accompanied by an inspiring message.
Day 7. I won't lie, there are moments when I don't feel like doing anything. But today I forced myself to get up, bathe, get pretty for myself, and get out of bed for a while.

"Day 7. I won't lie, there are moments when I don't feel like doing anything. But today I forced myself to get up, bathe, get pretty for myself, and get out of bed for a while," González shared. "It doesn't change the diagnosis, but it does change how the day feels a bit. While my body does its part, I try to do mine. One day at a time."
It doesn't change the diagnosis, but it does change how the day feels a bit. While my body does its part, I try to do mine. One day at a time.
González's health issues came to light after routine tests revealed her platelet count had dropped to an extremely low 3,000, far below the normal range of 150,000 to 450,000. She was hospitalized to begin treatment and undergo further studies to determine the cause. Reflecting on the frightening experience, she stressed the importance of valuing health and encouraged her followers to schedule annual check-ups, highlighting how a routine examination uncovered her critical condition.
A person normally has between 150,000 and 450,000. I reached 3,000. They kept me hospitalized to start treatment and do many studies while they look for the cause. These were days of great fear, of learning to go step by step and of valuing health more than ever.
