DIE matriekafskeid van die Ho\u00ebrskool Brandwag was vanjaar vir Dano Swart (18) \u2019n spesiale hoogtepunt, na die moeilikste 19 weke van sy lewe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die nekbesering wat Dano vroe\u00ebr vanjaar tydens OP-rugbyproewe opgedoen het, het sy liggaam verlam en sy lewe onherroeplik verander. Toe Dano verlede Donderdagaand by sy matriekafskeid aankom, het hy net so elegant gelyk soos toe hy as die eerste prins by die Mnr. en Mej. Brandwag-kompetisie aangewys is. Aan sy sy was \u2019n voormalige Mej. Brandwag, sy ouer sussie Zahn-Mari Nel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dano het na \u2019n noodoperasie sowat tien weke in Greenacres-hospitaal deurgebring, die meeste daarvan in intensiewe sorg. Daarna is hy na die Aurora-hospitaal oorgeplaas waar hy steeds daagliks fisio- sowel as arbeidsterapie ontvang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die saal van die VW PeoplePavilion waar die matriekafskeid gehou is, het al die gaste opgestaan en handegeklap toe Dano sy elektriese rolstoel, met die nommerplaat \u201cDano Swart Matriek 2019\u201d, bedrewe tot by sy sitplek gestuur het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adjunkhoof Eerika Roux was eerste by sy tafel vir \u2019n warm verwelkoming voordat Dano se rugby- en krieketspanmaats op hom toegesak het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dano, wat as gevolg van die tragea, vir weke net kon fluister, gesels nou heerlik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis Aurora se rolstoel,\u201d s\u00ea Dano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy kan nogal vinnig gaan. Kyk, hier is die veiligheidsgordel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dano wag nog vir die rolstoel wat die Chris Burger-fonds, \u2019n organisasie wat beseerde rugbyspelers help, aan hom gaan skenk. In di\u00e9 rolstoel sal Dano ook na die kante toe kan leun, wat beter is vir sy bloedsomloop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJa \u2026 ek voel baie beter. Al die pype is nou uit en my longe is baie sterker. Dis \u2019n groot verligting want nou kan ek weer praat,\u201d s\u00ea Dano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het baie van sy kragte herwin nadat hy self kon begin eet. Hy het ook die longinfeksies oorkom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heinz van \u201cHeinz in Style\u201d, wat al lank die aanbieders van Mnr. en Mej. Brandwag se klere borg, het Dano se stylvolle uitrusting verskaf. Die bruin strikdas bekelemtoon sy bruin o\u00eb wat vol vasberadenheid oor sy toekoms vonkel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dano oorweeg om die laaste deel van sy rehabilitasie by die Walk with Brandon-stigting, \u2019n gevorderde rehabilitasiesentrum in die Kaap, aan te pak. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
