Feelings of joy over the return of Giorgos Mylonakis to his home, following his difficult ordeal health issues he faced, were shared by his wife, Tina Messaropoulou, in an interview with Alpha TV on the show “Happy Day.”

“Today is a day of joy. Everything is fine, thank God, we’re back home, everything is going very well,” she said at the start of the show, hugging her colleagues after two months. “I never imagined in my life how many people would be by our side,” she noted.

She reported that Giorgos Mylonakis “is talking, walking, and has fully regained consciousness,” and that he wants to return to work. “I’m trying to hold him back with all my might so he can come back later, so we can go on vacation and then,” she said characteristically.

Since yesterday, they’ve all been at home together with their children. “It was a miracle that Giorgos recovered within two months. Right now we’re at home, and we’re doing very well,” she said.

She spoke about the difficult days that preceded this: “It was very hard; many times I didn’t even realize myself how hard it was. From the very first moment I entered the ICU—and I went in very often—I never felt distressed; I never felt sad. Despite the fact that the doctors had told me that for even a glimmer of hope, 20 days would have to pass first, I went in and was sure that everything would turn out fine. My instinct helped me from the very first moment until the very last, and it never let me down. And it helped us, and everything went very, very well.”

He then thanked the entire staff of the hospital “Evangelismos” and emphasized that “for me, my therapy all this time has been to connect with people, beyond my own family. It helped me to talk to relatives of other people who were going through the same ordeal, who had loved ones in the ICU. At the same time, I served as my own therapist, but also as a therapist for others on many occasions.”

“The miracle happened on May 2 when he opened his eyes,” she said. “At noon, the prime minister came to visit him, and just as the doctors had come to see him, he started smiling and suddenly began to do everything,” she recalled.

In Germany, he mentioned that they went for “part of his rehabilitation, and because things went so well, we decided to come to Greece, where they did an excellent job.” “There’s nowhere like Greece. We may fall short in various areas—I mean in terms of staff, but the humanity you see and the pride of the Greeks, whether they’re doctors or nurses, doesn’t exist anywhere else.”
