Roman Kostomarov, the 2006 Olympic champion in ice dancing, continues to prepare for the prosthesis and remains in the hospital. At the end of May, information appeared that the skater had undergone special operations on his legs for the preparation of prosthetics, and the healing process was ongoing. On June 5, a source familiar with the situation told RIA Novosti that waiting is still necessary for the prosthesis.
“Roman is getting ready for prosthetics, you still have to wait a month or two before starting. He feels good, he stays in the hospital for a long time, ”the source said.
TASS confirms this information by stating that the skater’s condition is stable. According to the source, Kostomarov will stay at the clinic for about three more months.
“Kostomarov’s condition is stable both psychologically and physically. Doctors continue to prepare the athlete for prosthetics. Most likely, he will remain in the hospital, at least until the end of the summer, ”writes TASS.
It is worth noting that earlier in a number of media reports that the skater was discharged at the end of May (and Kostomarov was secretly discharged from the hospital and taken to Germany for further treatment), but this information was later denied. The news that the Olympic champion will stay in the hospital until the end of summer was also confirmed by the Mash Telegram channel. According to the source, doctors are now focused on examining the liver. The figure skater was diagnosed with multiple organ failure a few months ago, after which it was reported that the athlete’s liver could not withstand the large amount of medication that the doctors gave Kostomarov.
Doctors are still examining the organ, but the dynamics of recovery are positive.
Psychologists working with the skater try to help her regain her morale after months in the hospital and amputation. Kostomarov underwent a series of amputation surgeries due to complications caused by the disease – the athlete lost his feet and fingers.
Tatyana Tarasova, the honored coach of the USSR, also stated that Kostomarov will stay in the hospital for a long time.
“I searched and found out. Of course it’s holding, well done but it’s going slow, not fast. Such injuries. Slowly, God forbid, soon. I haven’t even heard of the operation, so I don’t know anything about it. It’s been going on for a very long time! Discharged for a long time until it happened. So the doctor said. But I did not talk to her or to Oksana, ”Tarasova told Woman.ru on May 30.
Speaking about the situation of Kostomarov, the famous commentator Dmitry Guberniev noted that the main thing is his survival.
“At the background of all this horror, you realize that you will return to a full life here. I was wildly worried and worried.
Great support from colleagues. There is a caption: “Thank you for living.”
It is important for him to stay alive, his family is nearby, so his beloved woman said: “Rome, wait!” Of course, these are just words, they need to be somehow translated into action. The situation is very difficult, the person is standing on the sidelines, but he has won the struggle and continues to live. This is the most important thing in this case, ”MSK1.RU quotes Guberniev.
It became known on January 10 that Kostomarov was hospitalized. The skater, who was taken to the intensive care unit due to severe pneumonia, received ECMO treatment and remained on a ventilator for a long time. On May 8, Kostomarov first got in touch with his fans by posting a post on a social network.
