The call comes shortly after 15 clock this afternoon. The display shows Franziska's number, on the other end I hear Linda's voice. They were on their way to the emergency department. Nina could sit or walk properly yet. With the wheelchair, she was the hospital room of the school went into the car. At the moment it lies flat on the back of the Prado. As before, with severe pain.
The back has always been its weak point. Since early childhood. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. In recent months, with the intense volleyball training, took the pain again. A doctor visit was necessary. Radiographically, there are slight differences manifested in the lumbar spine, but not in an alarming extent.
The doctor prescribed physical therapy, which gave significant relief. Despite appropriate recommendation of the treating physiotherapist Nina was not willing to give up their four-week volleyball training. On the contrary, after the end of the season they signed up immediately for the Try Outs into Soccer Team . Although it was allotted in this case, success in sports ultimately at the expense of well-being.
Yesterday evening, after dance class and soccer game, she again complained of pain. Noon today in school was enough, a short sprint in the break, followed by an abrupt stop to ram it with an imaginary knife in his lower back. With the result that Nina landed in the room of the school nurse. Tormented by pain, which did not have much except the supine position.
An hour later, she is driven on a stretcher in the Emergency Room of Sheikh Khalifa Medical Center . I pack my things in the office and make me well on the way to the hospital. There is extremely busy. Patients wait in small, adjacent treatment rooms. Behind drawn curtains. Nina and Frank, I think 27th in the compartment
It so happens that I know the Canadian doctor treated. Her husband, also a doctor, played hockey with Tim. Also, we were already on the same boat trip to Abu Dhabi's waters. The world is small, but still quite amazing coincidence.
Nina is examined, it can be brave and share the infusion needle. Incidentally, I note that their blood pressure readings are better than mine. Three ml of morphine to numb the pain. After four hours, they must go home. Walking her is still difficult. The wheelchair makes things a bit more bearable.
are now initially announced two days rest, we also wait for a squad for the MRI. Then we'll see.
The Soccer shoes she has to hang well for a few weeks on the nail.
