Man loop weer náswem-ongelukLIEZL DAVIDS

“Ek het geglo ek gaanweer loopen bo uitkom.”

SosêClintonSimonswiese leweop Kersdag twee jaar gelede in ’noogwink verander.

Hy en vriende het op Kersdag2011 ’n bietjie lafenis teen die hittevan die Paarl in die Bergrivier na-by Meadow Feeds gaan soek.

Min het Simons geweet hoe diedag vir hom sou uitdraai.

“Ek het in die water rondgeloopen geswem en later het ek op diewal gaan sit en wag vir my vriendeom klaar te swem. Ek het toe weerbegin warm kry en is weer die wa-ter in.”

Hy vertel dat hy na die rivier ge-hardloop het en by die diep kantingeduik het. Die derde keer wathy dit gedoen het, het hy te nabyaan die wal vasgetrap en het metsy kop teen die bodem van die ri-vier vas geduik.

“Ek het besef iets is nie reg nie,want ekkonnie beweegnie. Ekhettoe my linkerhand in die lug ge-waai sodat my vriende kon sien ekis indiemoeilikheid.Ekhet gevoeldat ek nie meer kon asem kry nie.

“Hulle het eers gedink ek spot,maarhulle het toe besef dis ernstigen my kom help. Hulle het die am-bulans gebel, maar kon nie langerwag nie en het besluit om my selfhospitaal toe te neem.”

Hy vertel dat hy nie juis veel vandie gebeure daarna kan onthounie.

Hy is by die Paarl-hospitaal gestabiliseer endaarna oorgeplaas na die Tygerberg-hospitaalwaar hy verskeie skanderings ondergaan het.

“Hullehetvasgesteldat tweevanmyrugwer-wels uitgeskuif het. Ek is oorgeplaas na dieGroote Schuur-hospitaal se hoësorgeenheidwaar ek geopereer is.

“Voor die operasie het die dokters aan myverduidelik dat ek tydelik verlam is, maar dathulle hoopvol is dat ek weer sal kan loop.

“Ek kon in die hospitaal eers net my linker-armenvingersbeweeg.Laterkonekmylinker-been ook begin beweeg. Ek het toe geweet eksal weer kan loop.”

Nadat Simons vir drie maande lank in diehoësorgeenheid gelê het, is hy na ’n rehabilita-siesentrum in Mitchells Plain waar hy fisiote-rapie ontvang het.

“Ek moes vir drie maande daar bly voor eknaweke huis toe kon kom.”

Simons, wat by sy ouers in die Bauhinia-woonstelle in Nederburg woon, vertel dat ditmaar aan die begin moeilik gegaan het om open af by die woonstelblok se trappe te beweeg.

“Iemand moes my altyd op- en dan weer af-dra.”

Vir vier maande lank was hy in ’n rolstoel,maar hy het nie moed opgegee nie. “Ek het vir

myself gesê die rolstoel is nie vir my nie, ekgaan eendag weer loop.”

Ná die vier maande het hy met behulp van’n loopraam begin loop en het hy slegs die rol-stoel gebruik as hy ver afstande moes beweeg.

Hy vertel toe hy eendag weer huis toe kom,het sy vriend Charles Mike vir hom gesê hygaanhomniehelpnieendathyself trappemoetklim.

“Van daardie dag af het ek self die trappe op-en afgeklim.”

Sedert 14 Mei 2012 kon hy by die huis bly enhet hy slegs die sentrum besoek wanneer hyterapie moes ontvang. Hy moes later weer vir’n maand by die sentrum gaan bly toe hy geleerhet om met krukke te loop.

Vandag gebruik hy nog by tye die krukke virondersteuning, maar hy is vasbeslote om ookhulle binnekort weg te pak. “Al die lof en dankkom God ons Vader toe, want sonder Hom souek nie weer kon stap nie. Ek wil ook net dankiesê vir my familie en vriende wat my gehelp enondersteun het.”

Simons,wat ook ’nkranige rugbyspelerwas,het ná die ongeluk sy tokse finaal opgehangomdat die risiko vir verdere skade te groot is.

Ten spyte van die moeilike omstandighede,wil hy graag aan ander wys dat positiwiteit enwilskrag belangrik is vir herstel.

Clinton Simons (29) kan weer loop nadat daar gevrees is dat hydie res van sy lewe in ’n rolstoel moes deurbring na ’n swem-ongeluk.

Drakenstein Gazette Recipes - Resepte Friday 17 May 20134

tures revered avos as fruits of the gods. One of the storiesgoes that a Mayan princess ate the very first avocado andbelieved it had mystical, magical powers.

The Aztecs were in awe of avos for more than just this;they also believed the fruit enhanced fertility. The wordavocado actually comes from the Aztec word ahuácatlmeaning testicle, a reference to the suggestive shape of avosand the Aztecs’ belief that they had some serious aphrodisi-

ac qualities.If this has you blushing 50 shades of red, take

heart, the jury’s still out on the humble avo’salleged mighty prowess in the bedroom! How-ever, its versatility in the kitchen is wellknown, which is why you should add an avoto your meals, no matter what you’re cookingup. And if you’re already an ardent avo fan,don’t just add one – add two or three!

You see, when it comes to avos, it’s a caseof “you can’t get too much of a good thing”. Be-cause while they have a relatively high fat con-tent, it’s good fat – the stuff that’s believed tohelp bust bad LDL cholesterol levels in theblood. Plus they’re high in dietary fibre, asource of pantothenic acid and virtually freeof sodium. As a heart-healthy food, avos arealso the proud titleholders of the Heart Mark.

As if all that wasn’t enough, avos could alsohelp you lose weight. Research conductedfound that avos could successfully be includedin an effective weight loss programme becauseeating an avo a day within an energy-restricteddiet didn’t compromise weight loss. In fact,those on the avo diet found it easier to stickto the eating plan because these devilishly de-lectable fruits made the diet that much moreexciting.

Of course, you don’t have to do anything fan-cy with your avos to enjoy them – you can eatthem just the way you wish. On burgers, pitasand pizzas; in wraps, subs and sandwiches; inpastas and paellas, salsas and sauces. Whetheron top, inside or on the side, there are as manyways to eat these fabulous fruits as there arevarieties – estimates peg the number at 400 –in the world today.

Avos are king when it comes to salads. Richand creamy, they add that something specialthat makes salads well, heavenly. But just be-cause it’s winter, it doesn’t mean salads are offthe menu. Oh no! There are loads of saladgreens and vegetables out now that are perfectfor seasonal salads. All you need to do is addan avo...or two or three.

Ten simple tips to extendthe life-span of your carThereisnotruersay-ing than, “Take careofyourcaranditwilltake care of you.”

With rising fuelcosts and high infla-tion, taking care ofyourvehicle shouldbeat thetopofyourprior-ity list.

Les McMaster,chairmanof theMotorIndustry WorkshopAssociation (MIWA),says you don’t have to be a mechanical expertto take care of your car. “You just need to beaware of what you should be keeping an eye onand keep a regular maintenance schedule.”

McMaster provides ten simple basic car caretips to ensure your car stays on the road longerandthatyoupickupsmallerrepairsbeforetheybecome big ticket items.

) Read the car’s manual and schedule main-tenance accordingly. Don’t let your manual sitneglected in your glove compartment. Keepingup with your car’s recommended maintenanceschedule can help avoid costly problems withyour cooling system, drive-train, suspensionand other components. Following the recom-mended schedule religiouslyandonlyusequal-ity oil, fluids and parts.

) Battery Check. Like other car parts thathave been made to last longer, most car batter-iesaremaintenance-freeandcanlastmorethanthreeyears.Thefirstsignthatmayindicateyouneed a new battery is if you have trouble start-ing the engine.

) Good Visibility. One of the most neglectedbasic car care tips is taking care of your wind-

shield wipers. Youshouldchangethewip-ers every 12months orif the rubber becomesworn. You will alsowant to check the wip-er fluid reservoir andkeep it full.

) Use on-line fo-rums. You want tolearn about potentialproblems before theyhappensothatyoucanprevent them – or fixthem immediately.

Find an owners’ forum on-line and get on thewavelength of what the potential problemscould be as your car gets older.

)Checkthefluids.Youshouldcheckthelevelof your antifreeze, oil, transmission fluid, pow-er steering fluid, and brake fluid regularly. Weadvise you check these every time you put inpetrol. Even if your car doesn’t leak fluids, itcan develop a leak and quickly have a danger-ously low level of fluids. It’s also important tochangetheoilregularly.Thiswill improveyourmileage and protect your engine. The recom-mended mileage between oil changes is 5 000 -8 000 km or every 3 to 6 months. It is also impor-tant to change the oil filter as well – there is nosense in putting clean oil through a dirty filter,and filters are cheap and available at any partsstore.Pleasecheckyourservicemanual,orcon-tact your dealer for your car’s specific needs.

) BrakePads.Monitor yourbrakepad thick-ness and don’t let the pads wear down to metal.This will cause damage to your brake rotors(discs) at least and possibly your callipers aswell.Rotorsandcallipersaremuchmoreexpen-sive to replace than pads.

) Rotate the tyres. Changing tyre position isimportant and reduces uneven wear and tearon the tread, thus extending the life of thetyres.Generally they should be rotated diago-nally – front right to rear left and front left torearright.Youalsoneedtocheckyourtyrepres-sure regularly. Proper tyre inflation will helpthe tyres handle better and last longer, and itwill helpyouget themost out of a tankof petrol.

) Use your hand brake. Even if you are driv-ing a car with an automatic transmission, useyour hand brake regularly, especially if you’reparked on an incline. It helps keep the brakesadjusted in the rear of the car and makes themlast longer.

) Don’t ignore small problems. Pay close at-tention to your vehicle’s noises and also to itswarning lights and even cosmetic things, likea piece of rubber trim that’s loose. Ignoring aproblem only allows it to get worse and partsfor aging vehicles only get harder to find.

) Give your car some love. Wash it, wax itand vacuum it and treat all leather surfaces.You will protect both the paint and the interiorfrom aging prematurely.

Mc Master says these tips are all valid irre-spectiveofwhetheryouownaneworusedvehi-cle.“Visityourlocalservicecentreforaddition-al advice and tips on how to best maintain yourcar,” he says.
