Superman Vanya

Ivan saved all his life: he got fishermen from an ice floe, searched for those who disappeared in the forest, and prevented suicide. Now he is locked in his own body - the stroke does not ask how old you are and do you like to go on mountain campaigns

We help the Foundation for the fight against the orbi stroke help

Cold autumn Severodvinsk. The windows of the kitchen in the parable of the parables go out into the courtyard: the movers put furniture in the car, the girl in a red jacket pulls the hood blown by the wind. There are five at the table: the owners of the house are love and Ivan, two of their children - Maxim and Nastya - and I. Love cuts off a piece of cake and tells about her husband as if he had done completely ordinary things when he worked as a lifeguard.

“The man was preparing to jump from the window. Many people gathered in the courtyard, he was persuaded not to do this. Usually this is necessary in order to give rescuers time for action. Ivan climbed onto the roof of the house, he was fixed somehow,-and jumped his back back, as the climber descends from the cliff. He jumped so as to pushing the upcoming suicide in the apartment. Everything turned out. What then was with a man? - asks love. Ivan shrugs. “In general, I don’t know what happened next.”

Ivan sits opposite me and smiles. He answers with a smile to any question. Then he opens his mouth to say something, but only it turns out: "Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta."

Ivan cannot speak after a stroke with a hemorrhage in the brain. Love listens, asks to repeat what he said, and then explains what the husband had in mind. “Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta,” Ivan repeats with a smile.

“Yes, I understand,” love nods confidently. - Vanya found special romance in his work. Although the responsibilities were often unromanitive: to find a corpse from a broken car, which got lost in the forest. ”

Love puts a cup of coffee in front of me, sits next to Ivan and tells how he received the badge "for the elimination of emergencies."

On the ice

On April 22, 2010, at nine o’clock in the morning, a bell rang out in a single dispatch service of Severodvinsk. A female voice said that Rybakov was taking away to the open sea.

The ice floe one hundred meters per kilometer broke off the shore due to a sudden tide: the water rose half a meter. Eight people were carried away on a huge wreckage in the sea. Ivan and his colleague Igor Vlasenko quickly pulled on the wetsuits, puffed out the Orion boat and set off after him. The ice was already half a kilometer.

Rybakov was removed from the ice, three were brought to the shore and made the next entry. From cold water, air pressure in the boat fell, and from the side it seemed that it was gradually blown away. A strong wind blew: squeezed, from the shore. When the first fishermen were saved, the ice sailed sailed from the shore by seven hundred meters.

While the Ministry of Emergencies decided whether it was worth sending a helicopter, rescuers returned three more fishermen, including an elderly woman. Lydin managed to sail a kilometer when the last two saved got into Orion.

"How much did you work there?" - clarifies love in her husband. Ivan raises his left hand (the right does not work) and shows two fingers about twice and once - one index. “Eleven years,” “translates” love.

From the rescue service, Ivan went to the elimination of oil spills, then took up industrial mountaineering - because there was a salary higher: a second child was born in the family, money was needed.

“Well, then ...” Love pauses, “then Vanya had a stroke.”

Stroke "Stroke"

This happened in early 2017.

“He was in the store ...” Love is gaining air, but Ivan interrupts.

-No, no! Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta!

- I don't understand. Say clearer, - calmly, but firmly asks for love.

-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta! - Smiling, Ivan.

- Here you go. Not in the store, the bus became bad. It must be a little “kick”, then he manages to say better.

On that January day, Ivan promised to be at home at six in the evening. But he was not and was not. Love called - the husband’s phone did not answer. She phoned all friends, friends, but no one knew where Ivan was. Love asked her brother Ivan to check if he was in the garage, but he was not there either. Found through the police department. It turned out that he is in a hospital with a stroke.

The next day, Ivan was transported to Arkhangelsk, to the regional vascular center. Two days later, they performed an operation.

“The first days after the stroke were probably the most difficult: it is not known how the operation will pass, what will be the condition after it,” Love continues. The voice is calm and confident even at that moment. Love looks directly into my eyes and explains its incomprehensible calmness: “What to breed snot-plow? You need to do the job. "

Ivan looks at her and smiles.

Save the rescuer

“At first, he did not say at all, his right hand and leg did not move. And when only happened ... When Vanya was in the hospital, the doctor warned: "He can remain a vegetable." But there was. The brain works as before. "

After the rehabilitation course in Arkhangelsk, the leg earned: at first it just rose and fell, Ivan could not walk yet. Another month - rehabilitation in St. Petersburg. With the help of friends, 400 thousand rubles were raised in three days, and Ivan found himself in the All -Russian Center for Emergency and Radiation Medicine. A. M. Nikiforova Ministry of Emergencies of Russia. There he began to walk on his own: first along the corridors, and then along the street, with a cane. On this the family of the parables did not stop.

So in their lives a Foundation for the fight against the stroke of the orbi appeared: “The fund gave us confidence that people who find themselves in a situation like us will not be left without support,” says love.

From the words they immediately moved to the case: the employees of the Fund not only recommended the family a rehabilitation center in the clinic in managing the Presidential Affairs, but also found funds so that Ivan could take a course there, and picked up a nurse - caring, but strict Olga. She was next to Ivan around the clock. In the evenings, they walked in the center of the center. They went out in the stroller, but almost immediately Olga forced Ivan to get up and walk - and pass a little more every day than yesterday.

Before being in a stroller, Ivan went to the mountains. These were not just walks, but the sixth campaigns - the highest - the category of complexity. From a campaign against a Muyan ridge in Transbaikalia, the Ivan's group returned to the silver medalist of the Russian sports tourism championship. They “took” the pass, which no one had yet overcome, became pioneers. They called him “memory of the Severodvinsev” - devoted to fellow countrymen who died in the mountains.

“Now Vanya is walking along the street,” love tells love about the current achievements of her husband with the same pride. “Almost a kilometer can pass in an hour.”

Ivan, leaning on a cane, slowly leaves the kitchen. In the living room sits on the sofa, raises his right hand with the left, puts on his knee. Maxim and Nastya run around the room. Love is trying to calm the laughing children and, catching up with their wide steps, continues the story of Vanine medals, campaigns, and competitions in which he participated. A silver medal in sports tourism hangs on the wall.

Ivan had good health. The pressure just rose suddenly. A stroke does not ask how many people you saved, whether you love to go on mountain campaigns and how many years you were your daughter when you first put it on skis. The Orbi Foundation helps Ivan overcome the severe consequences of a stroke, get out of apathy and depression, which is inevitable when a young and still full person is locked in his own body.

A stroke is what can happen to everyone: on the bus, in the store, on the way home. Please subscribe to a regular donation, even modest - 100, 200, 500 rubles. Help the orbi fund to return to the life of superheroes, fathers and mothers, husbands, brothers, sisters - people of any age who need rehabilitation. Thank you!
