Update health and more
I am still going stronger every day but also throwbacks here like more pain in the broken rib area and hard to breath, maybe cause of doing to much again already. Marc is the one who has the hardest limitations cause of his injuries he is a little bit like a nursing case at the moment. Going on crutches just to the kitchen is like sport, his circulation is really weak he can’t sit for more than an hour… and now he had to go back int he hospital cause he got a thrombosis in his weak leg with the broken foot. Hardest throwback of us all, I realy feel with him…. Sarah is getting stronger and might go out of hospital on Monday.
I have trouble with money right now. I have to pay hospital fees of 210 EUR but that’s covered with benefit money, thank you so much. But I have problems with the doll money I get to pay my rent and health insurance. I didn’t get any the last three months cause of paper problems, also the unemployment office from Mülheim where I lived before wants about 800 EUR back. The pressing plant wants the last bills to be paid… So I need money really bad. Especially the peopel who owe me for a longer time and a lot of money should finally pay.
Some complications right now but well at least we live and the friends are all there and help and all will be good at the end!!!
We live and recover
For all of you who care for us helped or help us here’s a little „update“ on the development of the injuries of everyone involved with the accident of Bombenalarm. On the 22nd of September the right back tire of our van blew on the way to our show in Berlin and the van tumbled 3 times. About three weeks later 5 of the 6 that were inside the van left the hospital and are back home again. The wounds and bones are healing but slowly….
Marc’s foot is broken and so are some parts of his spine. He has crutches and a corset and will be really limited for the next months. Norman has some broken ribs. It’ll also take a while for him till everything is alright again. Stachel has several broken ribs and a broken shoulder. He had to stay for a quite long time in intensive care in hospital which took away a lot of strength. But he’s also doing much better and he is back home in Bremen now. Sarah (our friend from Muelheim) has some broken ribs and a broken shoulder as well. Due to the incompetence of the doctors in Braunschweig (the first hospital she went to) she moved to a different hospital in Essen to get an operation there. Of course this operation should have been made much earlier, which means that things are more complicated for here now. Fabian will be ok in a couple of weeks when his arm is totally healed again. Christoph just had some minor injuries which are almost fully healed already.
It looks like everyone had a health insurance. So we don’t expect high costs concerning this. It’s difficult to say how much money we will need for the van and equipment and stuff right now as we don’t know yet how much the assurance will pay. I guess the worst case would be something like 10.000 €. But we hope and also expect that the assurance will pay something.
We would like to thank everyone who thought of us, cared for us, took care of us, visited us in hospital, wrote letters and mails, donated money and organized or will organize benefit shows or similar things. It’s hard to describe how good it feels, that so many people are there for us when something shitty like this happens. It’s not only the financial help but much more the emotional help that feels so good. Thanks you all so much for your kind support.
Marc, Norman, Fabian, Stachel, Sarah and Christoph
