You will but have!

"You will but have" a program of BNN that will be shown next year. This is a part of what we did: At 10:00 we were at the Bernhard Karzerne (Militairy base) arrived in Amersfoort, I was "riding" (like the real thing!) We were in a trailer behind the car. But with a camera man in the car, and the Showmaster and I were on a motorcycle, which was on a trailer. Then we went to the obstacle course, and it started raining pretty hard. Then we went to the Kabouterhut (restaurant) there we had lunch. And then we did the obstacle course at the Bernhard. Then we went to the gym, and there we rowed on the rowing machine. Finally we went to the church (Hoeksteen), where I go to church every Sunday morning! This episode can be seen below:

The accident

The police from Amersfoort was doing a casement of a stuffier drunk person. The police thought he was doing heavy arm dealing. On that moment he was not guilty on that. But he drunk a lot of alcohol. Over 2 promille and on top of that also not properly insured and driving a car that was not his and not insured. I drove on a 2-lane road and the perpetrator came from a small road in the Soesterkwartier (quarter of Amersfoort) On that road are traffic lights, only as it was late in night they didn't work anymore. On the junction it is obvious you have to slow down. This man just kept on driving, because he knew he was being pursued. I was driving there because I was heading home from a (former) friend. We had been going out in Hilversum en had a good night. As my mom came back from her vacation and I wanted to tell her something important I decided to go home. I did not drink while I was out in Hilversum. Harry K.(the police officer in the head of the pursuit) and his colleague where in the police car when I was hit on my motorcycle. According to the police officer the perpetrator caused another accident a two years later, also caused while he was very drunk. This time not a motorcycler but a cyclist. Again he got a (ridiculously low) punishment with community work employment. Only a couple of ours more because of the homicide he caused this time!

The recovery

My mother told me that the mediacal staff of the hospital in Utrecht (A.Z.U.)thought that it was very dubious if I went through my first weeks of COMA alive because of my high brain pressure. After 4 weeks of my COMA the doctors said I would stay in it, in a more later stage they predicted I would be paralysed on the right side of my body for ever. When I was transfered from Tilburg to the Charlotte-oord, they shined a bright light in my eyes. My reaction was to close them. After that I was officially "Out of COMA". The Charlotte-Oord was a centre for people up to 25 years old. Unfortunatly it has been closed because they had to economize, there is still a centre for people of all ages with COMA and other forms of brain damage with mainly the same therapists (Lelyparc). I liked the Charlotte-Oord and I think my rehabilitation went so wel because of the good start! I went to Tilburg for a couple of months and then moved to a rehabilitation centre close to home (Doorn) where I had rehabilitation for 2 more years. In fact as a military I fell directly under the M.R.C. The M.R.C. is physiotherapeutic very good.

Faith

I wasn't raised a Christian because the family of my mother were Convinced-Protestants and the family of my father Roman-Catholic. I went to a Montessorie school (Pallas Athene in Amersfoort) and religion was your own choice. My childhood was without any religion, i also haven't been baptised. When i went to Sina for the army i had to go to Isral very often. If i was there i always lived in the assumption of:"If there is something, show me!" When i had my accident the police immediately put me in the ambulance and took me to the A.Z.U. (that's what is was called back then) where a very experienced team of doctors predicted that i would have a lot of luck being able to stay alive (because of the high brain pressure) the first weeks of the COMA. After those weeks they predicted that i would be paralysed on the right side of my body and stay in a COMA for ever. In spite of my heavy accident, that even got a police officer in shock, and my relativly good rehabilitation of a longterm COMA i'm sure there is "something". I made the choice, when i lived on my own, with a good result, to have myself baptised in a Together on the Road Church.

Part of cornerstone newsletter d.d. 17 July 2011

My name is Anton de Kruif. Unfortunately, I am not at all Christian brought up. The only ones in whom I heard something about the Christian faith were the parents of my mother. There I learned also the our father! I find the cornerstone a very good Church! In the past I have taken my grandmother several times. Unfortunately my grandmother 1 ¾ years ago. I'm now well over a year at another Church, the door. The average age is younger in comparison with the corner stone! Pastor leads the Clock (for me) to better understand what services.Also be held two services on Sunday, totally different from each other and another service held on Wednesday evening. I am very happy that the municipality collaboration the cornerstone was my first true Church! When my rehabilitation went very well in relative terms, I always went to the geloofuurtje on Wednesday night, given by a military or by a chaplain or pastor. With best regards, Anton.

Back to about me

At first i would like to say that i'm very positive about de Pellikaan because i can improve my sportactivities and other physical difficulty's there. Because sporting is good for the circulation of the blood your brain functions better. When i was in the army i trained a lot too (that's why my neurologist thinks i'm this good recovered from my heavy accident). I'm very grateful to the “Charlotteoord” at Tilburg because of the good results we had in the primary fase of my rehabilitation. To my great satisfaction a new COMA clinic (Leijparc) opened after the closing down of the Charlotte-oord. Also i'm very grateful to "de Regenboog" foundation, they showed me a better view after my rehabilitation of my current cognitive qualities. Finally i'm grateful to the Cerebraal foundation because they put me in contact with people who have the same thing (There are a lot of people with brain damage, everyone with another form). I also want to thank NAH-Info for the publicity for me and the persons who have gone through the same thing as me. This is a very usefull site for me and them.
