This gift came to me about five months ago.
46
120000
3000
Este regalo me llegó hace unos cinco meses.
02:18
It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up --
47
123000
2000
Se veía así cuando estaba todo envuelto...
02:20
not quite so pretty.
48
125000
2000
no tan bonito.
02:23
And this,
49
128000
2000
Y así.
02:26
and then this.
50
131000
3000
Y luego así.
02:29
It was a rare gem --
51
134000
2000
Era una gema rara,
02:31
a brain tumor,
52
136000
2000
un tumor cerebral,
02:33
hemangioblastoma --
53
138000
3000
hemangioblastoma,
02:36
the gift that keeps on giving.
54
141000
3000
el regalo que sigo recibiendo.
02:39
And while I'm okay now,
55
144000
2000
Y si bien ahora estoy bien,
02:41
I wouldn't wish this gift for you.
56
146000
2000
no les deseo este regalo.
02:43
I'm not sure you'd want it.
57
148000
2000
No estoy segura que lo quieran.
02:45
But I wouldn't change my experience.
58
150000
3000
Pero yo no cambiaría mi experiencia.
02:48
It profoundly altered my life
59
153000
3000
Esto alteró profundamente mi vida
02:51
in ways I didn't expect
60
156000
2000
de maneras que no esperaba
02:53
in all the ways I just shared with you.

3000
no deseado e incierto,
03:03

168000
2000
