tarabanko Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 It's hard to say anything 100% reliable right now. There was a surgery last friday (at Tarnow's hospital) but Rafal doesn't want to say anything publicly, so we don't know anything (and by "we" I mean suppporters, media, etc.) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the info Champion.

Squirelnutkins Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Does anyone have any news on Rafal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Rafal returned to his home a few days ago. He was considering leaving Poland to start treatment somewhere abroad, but decided to stay in Poland, with some expert from Bydgoszcz to take care about him. He's going to be cured with device called "Magstim", designed for magnetic stimulation of nerves and muscles. So far he has about 20% of the money needed for rehabilitation, and there are some bank accounts that anyone can donate money. Unfortunatelly it is said, that spinal cord is damaged, but also Rafal said that sometimes he is able to feel when doctor touches his leg with some sharp instrument, so there's still hope.
