Mariska Bauer after cerebral infarction: ‘I was a busy bee, but now a calm butterfly’ | Stars

Mariska, on the other hand, initially thought she had had something wrong to drink.

I was a busy bee but now a quiet butterfly.” She also said that she had the feeling that her head is sometimes full of cotton wool. “Everything I do is very tiring, but I’m still here. Every step I take now is a step forward.”

entertainment">Frans is relieved that it all went reasonably well. “You don’t take into account that something like this can happen to your family,” he said. Since Mariska fell away from the household, the singer had to take over many tasks. This made him even more admired for his wife. “If you just see what a woman does within a family… that’s just bizarre,” he said with admiration.
