Suni Lee is looking back on a “scary” health complication that she recently faced.
蘇妮·李回顧了她最近面臨的一種“可怕的”健康并發(fā)癥。
Earlier this year, the 20-year-old world champion gymnast said she’d been diagnosed with an incurable kidney disease. On Thursday, she explained just how concerning things had gotten, noting that she gained 45 pounds this year due to the illness.
今年早些時候,這位20歲的世界體操冠軍表示,她被診斷出患有無法治愈的腎病。周四,她解釋了事情變得多么令人擔憂,并指出由于疾病,她今年體重增加了45磅。
“I couldn’t fit into any of my clothes," Lee told USA Today. “My eyes were swollen shut. It was just so scary.’’
“我穿不下任何一件衣服,”李在接受《今日美國》采訪時表示。“我的眼睛腫得閉上了。這太可怕了。”
Although the 2020 Olympic all-around champion and uneven bars bronze medalist has managed to keep her medical condition under control as of late, that wasn’t always the case.
盡管這位2020年奧運會全能冠軍和高低杠銅牌得主最近一直設法控制住自己的身體狀況,但情況并非總是如此。
“I haven’t had a really bad day in a while," Lee said. “But in the beginning, it was like I was waking up swollen. My fingers were so swollen they wouldn’t fit into my grips and I couldn’t hold on to the bar.”
“我已經(jīng)有一段時間沒有過糟糕的一天了,”李說。“但一開始,我好像一覺醒來就腫了起來。我的手指腫得都抓不住了,我也抓不住酒吧了。”
“My whole body was swollen because I was retaining water, so I couldn’t do a flip... So it was really different and I had to learn how to work through it,” she told USA Today.
“我的整個身體都腫了,因為我在留水,所以我不能做空翻……所以這真的很不一樣,我必須學會如何克服它,”她告訴《今日美國》。
Lee, who is currently setting her sights on the 2024 Paris Games, declined to reveal the specifics of her diagnosis and the treatment she's receiving. However, she did share that she’s keeping an eye on her sodium intake.
李目前的目標是參加2024年巴黎奧運會,她拒絕透露自己的診斷細節(jié)和正在接受的治療。然而,她確實分享了她正在關注自己的鈉攝入量。
She told USA Today that she has her fair share of “good days and bad days,” but chooses to work through them as best she can.
她在接受《今日美國》采訪時表示,她也有“好日子和壞日子”,但她選擇盡自己最大的努力度過這些日子。
“With the good days I just take advantage of what I’m able to do, and on the bad days I just do basics and try and stay as safe as possible," she said.
她說:“在好的日子里,我只是利用我能做的事情,在糟糕的日子里,我只是做一些基本的事情,盡量保持安全。”
“Waking up one random Tuesday of the week and you just can’t even recognize yourself is so scary,’’ the Minnesota native said, noting that she’d never had any other medical issues.
這位明尼蘇達州人說:“每周隨機挑一個周二醒來,你甚至都認不出自己了,這太可怕了。”她指出,她從未有過任何其他健康問題。
Although Lee qualified for the U.S. Championships and was invited to attend the U.S. team selection camp for the world championships, she has instead chosen to focus on her health.
雖然李獲得了參加美國錦標賽的資格,并被邀請參加了美國國家隊的世錦賽選拔營,但她還是選擇了關注自己的健康。
“I just decided that I didn’t want to rush into it and push my body and even risk something happening to be able to prepare for the Olympic year," she continued.
她繼續(xù)說道:“我只是決定,我不想急于進入這個階段,強迫自己的身體,甚至冒著發(fā)生什么事情的風險來為奧運年做準備。”
