From Primitivo FB page posted by Maritere del Oso Castro for Juan Manuel del Oso (they both live in La Espina, near Bodenaya) who is looking for the Peregrino who saved his life in 2018. Spanish followed by Google translate into English, a little stilted yet understandable.
Perhaps someone here can help?
En la primavera de 2018 un vecino de La Espina, Juan Manuel del Oso, salvó su vida gracias a la rápida intervención de un peregrino que pasaba al lado de su casa, en El Brañueto, La Espina, en el tramo que une nuestro pueblo con Bodenaya; se acababa de cortar con una motosierra y un desconocido caminante le hizo un torniquete antes de que llegaran los servicios sanitarios; con los nervios del momento a nadie se le ocurrió preguntar ni tan siquiera su nombre a su "ángel salvador", yo estaba presente y recuerdo que la madre de Juanín le dio un donativo para que se lo hiciese llegar en su nombre al Apóstol y este hombre le dijo que así lo haría....
5 años después Juan Manuel recuerda este difícil momento de su vida en una entrevista publicada en el diario La nueva España el día 10/07/2023:
"Porque yo me jubilé tras un accidente que tuve en 2018. Un fin de semana haciendo leña, una motosierra me cortó un brazo, cortó la vena principal y el nervio mediano que gobierna tres dedos. El primer golpe de sangre, no te exagero, subió más de dos metros de altura. Lo primero que pensé: aquí me quedo".
"Pero me salvó un peregrino del Camino de Santiago que pasaba por allí y me atendió. Si no es por el peregrino, adiós que te guarde el cielo. Me llevaron en helicóptero y la familia estaba asustadísima, así que nadie se preocupó por el peregrino, ¿entiendes? No he logrado localizarlo. Si lo encontrase, iba a Francia a verlo, fíjate. Sería toda una satisfacción enorme poder agradecérselo. Sí que se puede decir que el Camino de Santiago nos da la vida. A los que viven de él, que ya vive el 50% de la comarca, les da la vida. Pero a mí me la dio literalmente".
A raíz de esta entrevista a mi se me ocurrió que tal vez a través de algún grupo de peregrinos podríamos lograr que Juanín pueda conseguir contactar con su rescatador y así poder transmitirle su agradecimiento.
GRACIAS!!!
In the spring of 2018, a resident of La Espina, Juan Manuel del Oso, saved his life thanks to the rapid intervention of a pilgrim who was passing by his house, in El Brañueto, La Espina, on the stretch that connects our town with Bodenaya; he had just cut himself with a chainsaw and was given a tourniquet by an unknown passerby before the health services arrived; With the nerves of the moment, no one even thought to ask his "savior angel" his name, I was present and I remember that Juanín's mother gave him a donation so that he could send it to the Apostle in his name and this man told him that he would do it...
5 years later, Juan Manuel recalls this difficult moment in his life in an interview published in the newspaper La nueva España on 07/10/2023:
"Because I retired after an accident I had in 2018. One weekend doing firewood, a chainsaw cut my arm, cut the main vein and the median nerve that governs three fingers. The first blow of blood, I am not exaggerating, It rose more than two meters high. The first thing I thought: I'll stay here."
"But I was saved by a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago who was passing by and he took care of me. If it's not for the pilgrim, goodbye, may heaven keep you. They took me by helicopter and the family was terrified, so no one cared about the pilgrim Do you understand? I haven't been able to locate him. If I found him, I would go to France to see him, mind you. It would be an enormous satisfaction to be able to thank him. Yes, it can be said that the Camino de Santiago gives us life. To those who live on it , who already lives in 50% of the region, gives them life. But he literally gave it to me."
As a result of this interview, it occurred to me that perhaps through a group of pilgrims we could get Juanín to get in touch with his rescuer and thus be able to convey his gratitude to him.
THANK YOU!!!
