Die Ho\u00ebr Jongenskool se Hannes van Dyk was verlede jaar \u2019n tipiese energieke, lewenslustige matrikulant. Boonop is hy uiters gesondheidsbewus en \u2019n gereelde gesig in die gimnasium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar, net toe Hannes, toe 17, se matriekjaar goed op dreef was, het hy en sy gesin se lewe eensklaps verander toe hy \u2019n beroerte by die skool beleef het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die voorval het op 29 Maart 2023 gebeur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hannes vertel hulle was besig om klasse te wissel toe hy begin sleg voel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het erge tinnitus in my een oor gekry en was verskriklik duiselig en het gesukkel om te praat. Ek was ook heeltemal van balans af. Ek het eers gedink dis \u2019n hoofpyn wat sal weggaan, of dalk duiseligheid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het vir my vriend, Albert, ges\u00ea iets is nie reg nie. Ek wou later opgooi en s\u00ea toe vir Albert ek dink ek moet kantoor toe gaan, maar ek kon nie op my voete staan nie. Hulle moes my toe kantoor toe dra. Ek was verskriklik naar en het baie opgegooi. Almal het gedink dit is my bloedsuikervlak. Die een kant van my kop was ook baie swaar en ek wou net die heeltyd l\u00ea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skool het Hannes se ma, Alinda, inderhaas gekontak en sy is na die skool en het hom na Mediclinic Paarl geneem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die een dokter het wel vermoed dat dit moontlik \u2019n beroerte kon wees, maar so iets is bykans onmoontlik vir iemand van so \u2019n jong ouderdom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hannes is deur \u2019n geweldige sarsie toetse gesit en eers nadat hy vir \u2019n CT-skandering gegaan het, is bevestig dat hy wel \u2019n beroerte gehad het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit het die dokters laat kopkrap oor hoe so \u2019n jong gesonde man op 17-jarige ouderdom \u2019n akute beroerte op die serebellum gekry het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie dokters het allerhande genetiese toetse \u2013 bloedtoetse en \u2019n klomp ander \u2013 op my gedoen om die rede hiervoor vas te stel, maar dit het niks opgelewer nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het ook geen familiegeskiedenis van beroertes nie. Dit bly steeds \u2019n raaisel,\u201d vertel Hannes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alinda s\u00ea dit was natuurlik \u2019n geweldige skok vir die familie. Maar hul fokus was pal daarop om Hannes op die pad na herstel te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hannes is na \u2019n Kaapse hospitaal waar hy dadelik in die waaksaal opgeneem is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk weet min van my aankoms en opname daar en het eers die volgende dag besef wat werklik met my gebeur het. Die dokters het alles aan my verduidelik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaar dit was eers in die volgende paar dae dat ek en die dokters werklik agtergekom het hoe baie van my vaardighede soos loop, skryf en praat, deur die skade aan my brein geaffekteer is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel baie van Hannes se vaardighede geaffekteer is, is almal baie dankbaar dat hy geen verlamming ondervind het nie, soos wat met baie slagoffers van \u2019n beroerte die geval kan wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En wat nou voorgel\u00ea het, was \u2019n pad van intensiewe rehabilitasie met die hulp van \u2019n fi\u00adsioterapeut, \u2019n arbeidsterapeut en \u2019n spraakterapeut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die herstelproses was danksy hierdie hulp en die feit dat Hannes jonk en gesond is, vinniger in vergelyking met ouer mense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk was heeltyd verskriklik positief,\u201d se Hannes. \u201cMaar hoe langer die proses aangegaan het, hoe meer het ek besef watter uitwerking en verskil dit eintlik in my lewe gemaak het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk kon nie meer oefen nie en ek was veral baie bekommerd oor my akademie, want ek kon glad nie skryf nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het op \u2019n kol gedink ek sou nie my matriekeksamen kon skryf nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En met hierdie positiewe ingesteldheid asook die bystand van sy gesin en die nodige terapeute en medici, was Hannes drie weke nadat hy die beroerte gekry, weer op die skoolbanke by Boishaai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was \u2019n moeilike tyd wat voorgel\u00ea het, met baie aanpassings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar, s\u00ea Hannes, hy is met ope arms by Boishaai terugverwelkom en almal was bereid om so ver as moontlik te help om sy pad na die matriekeindeksamen moontlik te maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit het vrugte afgewerp, want verlede week het die Van Dyk-gesin behoorlik gejubel toe die nuus ontvang is dat hy matriek met toelating tot diplomastudies geslaag het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is baie dankbaar teenoor my terapeute en my ouers wat my gehelp het om te kom waar ek vandag is. Sonder hulle sou ek nie hier gewees het nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hannes s\u00ea hoewel 2023 \u2019n baie moeilike pad was wat hy en sy gesin moes stap, het dit hom wel \u2019n ander perspektief op die lewe gegee en hom \u2019n meer nederige ingesteldheid gegee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlles wat ek het, kan vergaan. Om elke oomblik te waardeer, is wat nou vir my belangrik is. Ek dink voor my beroerte was ek so gefokus op die toekoms en net om die heeltyd daar uit te kom. Ek het nie besef wat ek in die n\u00f3\u00fa het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit het my definitief ook nader aan die Here gebring. I knew of him but I didn\u2019t know him<\/i>. Ek is nie die skrywer van my eie storie nie. Dit klink dalk snaaks, maar ek het \u2019n storie om te vertel,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hannes gaan vanjaar \u2019n oorbruggingsjaar neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy werk tans as vrywilliger vir die Kaapse Wynland-distriksmunisipaliteit-brandweer in Stellenbosch en is omtrent aan die diep kant ingegooi met die brandseisoen wat tans op sy ergste is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is iets wat ek baie graag wil doen. Dit is \u2019n werk waar ek kan uithelp en teruggee aan mense. As ek kan teruggee en lewens red soos my lewe gered is, sal dit my baie gelukkig maak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alinda het verder ges\u00ea hulle is geweldig dankbaar vir die ondersteuning wat hulle van almal by die Ho\u00ebr Jongenskool gekry het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHierdie pad sou baie moeiliker daarsonder gewees het. Boys High<\/i><\/span>sal altyd in ons harte wees \u2013 altyd blou \u2013 en ons sal altyd getuig van die broederskap en vriendskappe wat lewenslank bindend sal wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy \u2018twig\u2019<\/span> is nou \u2019n boom \u2013 en die belangrikste van alles \u2013 die Herder het sy verlore skaap gevind.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die Ho\u00ebr Jongenskool se Hannes van Dyk was verlede jaar \u2019n tipiese energieke, lewenslustige matrikulant.
