Helena Resano has already left the hospital after spending a week there. This development was shared by the journalist himself in a post uploaded to his official Instagram account: “I am going home. I have a clear plan for a full and steady recovery.”
“I need to pause, to heal, and to regain the strength to return to my usual self. Please remember this in your thoughts, in every detail. Your overwhelming messages, the thousands of unanswered ones, and the missed calls have been felt deeply. It is a moment to listen to what the body signals. I heard you,” said the presenter of laSexta Noticias about 14 hours ago.
The communicator also expressed gratitude for the care and support he has received in recent days, specifically naming television colleagues such as Toñi Moreno, Máximo Huerta, Sonsoles Ónega, Isabel Jiménez, Carme Chaparro, Ana Terradillos, Anne Igartiburu, Paula Echevarría, and others who offered encouragement.
“I want to thank everyone who looked after me during these days. Doctors, healthcare professionals, and security staff—they came to my room to check on me, smiled through every test, and reminded me that care is a team effort. I’m grateful to my family and friends who visited daily to lift my spirits and push me to keep going. I hope to be back in action in a few days,” Resano remarked.
It is worth recalling that Resano had already explained the reason for the hospitalization in a column published recently: “On Sunday, my left side from the waist down suddenly went numb.”
“Initially I assumed there would be a simple issue, perhaps related to my back. My plan was the usual routine: some stretching, rest, local heat, and muscle relaxants, and I would be back to normal on Monday. That wasn’t the case. The admission happened in the early hours of Monday, and the situation did not improve. The paralysis did not stay confined to the lumbar region; it progressed upward and began affecting the other leg as well.”
What followed was an ongoing cycle of examinations at the medical center: “A non-stop series of tests, all kinds of imaging, and the constant movement between machines. I wanted to understand what was happening, to see what the column had described, and to confront the fear that comes with uncertainty.”
In those long, revealing moments inside the resonance chamber, he reminded himself not to forget the most valuable thing—his health. The anxiety he felt as weekly commitments slipped away mattered less than the need to be well. “I could not do anything if I wasn’t in good health,” Resano stated, underscoring that health comes first before any project or responsibility.
He also noted that at the time there was no definitive diagnosis: “Clearly, the most disheartening part for doctors is the ongoing search for answers. Yet there is a path to recovery being explored. The leg remains unresponsive, stubbornly quiet, but there is a sense of movement. There is a promise of progress, and the team is determined to pursue it. We still have many steps and much dancing to do, many walks to undertake. Either I regain the energy, or I find it within myself to push forward. There is a standing agreement with the rehabilitation team, the leg, and the person behind it: stubbornness cannot defeat us.”
