“El Guitarreño” tells his fears of suffering an accident in his right eye

In a good mood, but without detracting from the seriousness of the accident that kept him absent from the Wapa screen, comedian Alfonso Alemany “El Guitarreño” returned this morning, who told his colleagues in dawn “the details and fears he experienced.

He entered the morning news studio dressed in sportswear and protecting his eyes with glasses. He immediately expressed his gratitude to the doctors who treated him during his emergency.

He explained that on December 11 he quickly left the canal to return home to join the workers who were building an extension of the canopy. While there, he watched a 20-foot-high beam and fearing it would fall on him or cut someone, he decided to peck in half.

“When I was biting him, I was sitting on a bench and the machine fell to my floor, and he was supposed to have a sensor and it went off,” he told reporter Jordi Gelpí and presenter Yizette Cifredo.

He took the machine again and the cutting piece broke and hit him in the forehead, nose and right eye, causing him two deep wounds.

“I was conscious the whole time,” he said from the moment he began to feel the liquid in his eye begin to run down his cheek. “I saw my eyes go out.”

He told his wife that he feared he had “exploded” his eye. “I thought so many things, I said, ‘I went blind.'” He even confessed that he came to fear for his life, as one of the doctors later warned that if the wounds had gone deeper into the eye, he may have been left in a vegetative state.

He was later operated on twice and fortunately managed to save his organ.

Alemany returns today to his work at Wapa, specifically in the “Stick at Noon” program.
