"Come out, Vasilich!"

Even very strong people - and the coach of the ski club, the reserve officer Alexei Nenev of these - may be powerless before the stroke. What can help them?

“When we entered the ward, he was lying, his eyes were closed,” recalls Anna Nenva. -Honestly, I didn’t even recognize him: the head was very swollen, everything was bandaged very, very, he was attached to the bed ... They told me-talk to him, he is conscious. I immediately took his hand, I say: “Lesha, it's us. You can't give up. ” And the first thing he said: "I have no other choice."

Anna looks up and blinks to drive tears back.

- This was his first word. He did not even tell me "hello." Simple: "I have no other choice."

- And I don't remember anything of this. Therefore, it is easy to say, ”Alexey laughs, looking down at his right hand-she is spasmodic, and the fingers do not extend to the end. When Alexei is sitting, only this - and still covered with his hair, the scar on the right temple - recalls a severe hemorrhagic stroke, which he suffered last year.

Skis and father words

We are talking in the coaching room of the ski club, led by Alexei Nenev. However, it is difficult to name the cabinet - a small room in which sports equipment, documents, and a table with teapots and cups; On the door is a formidable announcement: "Whoever enters without knocking will receive in the ear." "They do not look, run up - or maybe the conversation is important here?" -Smiling, explains Alexei. “And, an illustration of his words, one of the students rumbles into the office.

The office, like a small gym, and locker rooms, is located in the high basement of the building ... Sunday school. Exactly like this: a serious ski club "Sadki" operates at a church Sunday school.

Priest of the Church of the Beauty of John the Baptist and Alexeifoto: Evgenia Zhulanova for TD

Alexei, a reserve officer, was engaged in skiing in his youth. Arriving with his family in the Czechs near Moscow, he began to work in the construction business. Together with his wife Anna, they became parishioners of the Temple of Beauty of John the Baptist located in the estate of the cage of the church, in which a Sunday school appeared in 2009.

About the abbot of the temple, father of George, Alexei speaks with great and sincere respect.

- Father George then gathered all of us who were closer, and asked who could teach what. And we came to the estate somehow skiing with the eldest son-once they rode, two. One guy joined us, then more. So they started. And the priest asked me - nothing, they don’t want to do it? I say: "It would be cool to organize the section." He said: "Come on, act." I allowed to choose a room under the hall, in two days they put a laminate here - you won’t be engaged in the concrete floor ... The first year we were erase, trampled ourselves, in the old fashioned way. The priest watched how we mumble, asks: "What else is needed?" And we would be a snowmobile to make a ski route. Father: "Lesha, is it really needed?" I say: “Yes, you won’t make the track without it, but there will be a snowmobile - we will make the route normal, we will hold the competition.” And in September 2010, he bought a snowmobile for us.

“We have a father of words,” Anna grows laughing. - No sooner said than done. If Lesha says that snow is needed, - Father George will pray, there will be snow. I'm joking, of course, but in fact it is. We even have a car that is snowing.

A lot and a lot

The section became the main thing not only for Alexei, but also for his wife - even his cottage in the Tula region was converted for sports camps. There, in the country, during the next fees in July 2022, Alexei had a stroke.

“His head was sick, yes,” Anna recalls. - In June, I was sick, in July ... Well, I drank a pill - my head passed. Like all of us ...

With Alexei, his students were at the training camp.

“Misha was, Yegor, Vanya, Pasha,” Alexey lists. - And Vlad. It's good that Vlad was there. He realized that I had a stroke.

Vlad, the eldest son of Alexei and Anna, shortly before he graduated from the Great Lux Academy of Physical Culture and Sports. They told them about the symptoms of a stroke in the classroom - and when his father did not wake up in the morning, Vlad quickly orientated himself. With a stroke, it is important to deliver the patient to doctors as early as possible. Alexei was lucky: the ambulance arrived in their village almost immediately, in the nearest hospital he was diagnosed, first aid was provided and sent to Tula for surgery. Already at lunch, he was lying on the operating table.

“Almost one hundred milliliters of blood were pumped out,” Alexei touches the right temple. - A lot.

“A lot,” Anna said. - Therefore, the restoration is long. There is nothing to be done about it. But with such a spill of blood, he says, in consciousness, walks, dresses, can put food and eat himself, wash himself ... And here, in the end, to talk with children here. This is a lot ... It is a lot, ”she repeats.

The goal is to scratch his nose

Alexei was not immediately allowed to restore treatment-due to the risk of the formation of new blood clots, he had to spend more than three months without movement. The parishioners of the temple and family friends raised money for the first rehabilitation, and shortly after discharge from the hospital, Alexei went to the Medical Center "Well -being". There, in just two weeks, he was not just lifted to his feet - he went.

- Yes, he had a cane, but he walked. We put the stroller and removed. And they didn’t get it anymore, ”Anna recalls.

“When I went into the temple after rehabilitation into the temple, everything was in shock in the temple,” Alexei nods and smiles.

In the rehabilitation center, Anna and Alexei was told about the orbi stroke fund and offered to turn to it for help, because Alexei had to undergo more than one rehabilitation.

- I called the fund’s hot line, they told me everything right away - how they can help, what documents are needed. In December, Orbi took our documents for consideration. And in January, immediately after the holidays, the coordinator from the Fund called and said: “Everything, your documents have accepted, open your account, start the collection. Forward!" I tell you this, and I have goosebumps on my skin, ”Anna translates. - We collected money - 280 thousand - just instantly.

The collected funds were enough for a three -week program in the same “well -being” - after these three weeks, Alexei began to move even more confidently, learned to walk up the stairs. But the left side of the body has not yet recovered to the end: when walking, Alexei pierces his leg, the left hand is bent and inactive.

- I ask the doctor. - When will the cognac can drink cognac? When you can scratch your nose with your left hand, he says, then you can. There is a goal, ”Alexey smiles.

Joking, he gets up from his chair and slowly goes into the training room: he is painful for a long time in one position. Anna escorts him with a look.

“I really want him to accept this,” the wife says quietly. -When he accepts himself as he is, he will learn to interact with himself, he will begin to do something. Yes, of course, he loves the section, he is ready to come here every day, to communicate with children. But the rest is not yet ... We must accept yourself first.

"Everything is craft"

Anna herself helped the incident to consult psychologists for relatives of people after a stroke organized by the Orbi Foundation.

- It helps. You can clog, go into yourself, because it's all hard. And when you listen to psychologists, it’s easier. What to close in myself, I better listen to experienced people, let them tell me that I could look at everything differently. We must move forward, right? And to move, you need to understand how to do it ...

Anna also comforts herself that if it were not for a stroke, Alexey as an officer of the reserve, the captain of the tank troops would now be on his .

- They came to us with the agenda. They did not yet know that he had a stroke. I say - come in! Take, treat, then bring it, ”says Anna.

- She rolled me off in a stroller, says: “Put on my feet - and take it,” Alexey shakes his head and grins.

-His friends-servants there. Many are injured. And we are here, together. Everything is craft. If not for a stroke, he would go there in the forefront, this is a person sick on his head. And I have seven on the shops, I don’t need this.

- What does it mean - sick on the head? - Alexei is indignant. - I took the oath!

“Seven on the shops” is not a figure of speech. Separately, from parents and only the eldest daughter of the Nenes, the eldest of five children, lives independently. After what happened to his father, the eldest son took his coaching work, and three younger ones - two sons and a daughter - schoolchildren.

Aleksey to the question whether he agrees with his wife that everything is “crazy”, grinks with one corner of his mouth and makes a gesture with his hand:

- What is there. It just happened and happened. Unconducting is both mine and the general. I went to the military medical commission exactly before the stroke. Like a former officer. And everything on the commissions was fine, even everything is fine. And no hypertension. And here you have sailed ...

Now the family of Alexei and Anna, in addition to the Orbi Foundation, continues to help the church parish, as well as the parents of the children involved in the section:

- The last rehabilitation was organized by my parents - they called: “The car at the entrance, come out, Vasilich!” They took it, brought ...

But the best medicine for Alexei remains a section. The results of the students-and they are truly serious-plans for the season, the expectation of snow.

“We have training - Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday,” Anna bends his fingers. - And all four times he breaks here, right now. It's like an element of rehabilitation ... You know, people, they are looking for themselves, right? Looking for, looking. Some people have been looking for all their lives, they cannot understand what they need. And then a person found himself.

To preserve and increase this found, Alexei and his family will need help for a long time, not only monetary, but also advisory and psychological. All this has suffered a stroke and their families can give the orbi fund. And we can support the fund with a ruble so that there are more opportunities for help.
