Inwoners van die Wes-Kaap word di\u00e9 Beroerte-bewusmakingsweek (Woensdag 25 Oktober tot Woensdag 1 November) gemaan om gesonder keuses te maak om hul kanse om \u2019n beroerte te kry, te verminder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een merkwaardige oorwinnaar, Deon Lackay van Pni\u00ebl, beskryf die hersteltydperk as \u2019n uitdagende tyd. Hy besef nou as hy vroe\u00ebr \u2019n gesonder leefstyl gevolg het, sou hy nie vir \u2019n jaar en \u2019n half moes baklei om optimale funksionering en sy onafhanklikheid te herwin nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy kyk egter met dankbaarheid terug na di\u00e9 tydperk en s\u00ea die gesondheidsorgwerkers, die ondersteuning van sy familie en gebede het hom \u201cteruggebring\u201d tot waar hy weer kan loop. Hy het op sy herstelpad byna 60 kg afgeskud en is meer aktief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gesondheidsorgwerkers in die Stellenbosch-gebied vier hierdie Beroerte-bewusmakingsweek Lackay se merkwaardige herstel. Tesame met hom, vra hulle mense om hul gesondheid te beveilig en die kans op beroerte te verminder deur elke dag gesond te eet, gereeld aktief te wees, dwelms, alkohol en rook te vermy, voorge\u00adskrewe medikasie soos aanbeveel te neem, en jou dokter te besoek indien jy oor enige aspek van jou gesondheid bekommerd is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk moes gesonder gelewe en ge\u00ebet het,\u201d voer Lackay aan. \u201cDit het \u2019n beroerte geneem voordat ek d\u00edt besef het. Ek het nooit geluister toe mense my gewaarsku het nie. Ek was oorgewig; ek het byna 197 kg geweeg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy onthou hoe hy op 3 Junie 2022 deur \u2019n eienaardige gevoel in sy kop oorval is. Later het hy in sy slaapkamer geval en die gesin het die nooddienste na hul woning ontbied. \u201cDie ambulans was vinnig daar. Ek was by my bewussyn en, omdat ek so groot was, moes ek self aan die paramedici verduidelik hoe om my uit die huis te kry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy vrou, Adelaide, was aan sy sy. Sy onthou toe hulle by die Stellenbosch-hospitaal aankom, het medici gou bepaal Lackay moet vir behandeling na die Tygerberg-hospitaal gaan. N\u00e1 48 uur hier is hy gestabiliseer en na die Stellenbosch-fasiliteit oorgeplaas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weens sy unieke omstandighede is besluit hy sal as buitepasi\u00ebnt ondersteun word, en gemeenskapsgesondheidswerkers het Lackay tydens huisbesoeke ondersteun en gereeld terugvoering met die deskundiges oor sy vordering gedeel. Hy het ook \u2019n tuisoefenprogram ter ondersteuning van sy herstel gevolg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was baie moeilik. Ek het amper pille gedrink om my lewe te be\u00ebindig,\u201d s\u00ea hy oor die depressiewe tyd in sy lewe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lackay was vir maande bedl\u00eaend; om in die huis gekluister te wees, om die gebruik van sy een arm en been te herwin en weer alledaagse take te bemeester, was baie moeilik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy is dankbaar vir sy vrou, familie en besoekers wat hom ondersteun het. Hy kon uiteindelik \u2019n rolstoel gebruik, maar dit het beteken hulle moes veranderings aan die huis aanbring sodat hy kon rondbeweeg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As hy gesukkel het om van die bed tot in die rolstoel, of die rolstoel tot op die bed of toilet te beweeg, het die fisioterapeut en dieetkundige van Stellenbosch-hospitaal na sy huis gekom om hom te ondersteun. \u201cMense het baie oor die hospitaal te s\u00ea, maar kyk na my \u2013 hier staan ek! \u2019n Instelling soos dit kan nie bekostig om sulke goeie werkers te verloor nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die eerste twee maande n\u00e1 die beroerte kon Lackay die reuk van kos wat hy eens geniet het, nie verdra nie. D\u00edt het hom gehelp om \u2019n gesonder dieet te volg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As deel van sy werk het hy lang afstande gery en vinnige, maklike kos ge\u00ebet. Omdat hy gereeld gery het, was hy fisiek nie so aktief nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As hy terugdink aan die dae voor die beroerte, besef Lackay dat hy die waarskuwingstekens gemis het. Hy het elke oggend \u2019n hoofpyn ervaar (wat ongewoon vir hom was) en hy was baie moeg. Hy het pynpille met \u2019n energie\u00addrankie geneem, en in die aand nog pynpille afgesluk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mense wat hierdie tekens ervaar, moet onmiddellik \u2019n hospitaal besoek. \u2019n Beroerte is \u2019n noodgeval!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \u201c \u2019n Mens kan nie aan iemand anders verduidelik hoe dit is om \u2019n beroerte te kry nie. Daar is ook niemand anders om die werk vir jou te doen nie,\u201d s\u00ea Lackay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit was \u2019n stadige herstelproses. Die eerste keer wat ek weer die toilet kon gebruik, moes ek \u2019n foto neem om met die fisioterapeut, Lorisha Manas, te deel. Toe ek vir die eerste keer weer op my eie kon stort, het ek uit blydskap in die huis geskree! <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSodra ek oor iets bekommerd is, besoek ek die kliniek. Ek volg die raad van die gesondheidsorg\u00adwerkers tot die letter en weier om sommer medikasie oor die toon\u00adbank te koop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die gesondheidswerkers wat hom ondersteun, is saam met Lackay en sy gesin bly oor sy herstel. \u201cEk onthou die dag toe hy ontslaan is. Sy vrou het ges\u00ea: \u2018Oor \u2019n jaar sal Deon hier instap en maerder wees\u2019,\u201d vertel die dieetkundige Lenelle de Lange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk was bekommerd dat dinge nie in sy guns sou uitwerk nie, maar ek glo sy familie se ondersteuning het die verskil gemaak.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Inwoners van die Wes-Kaap word di\u00e9
