Kostomarov, after the amputation of his legs, he woke up. Left hand at risk – Corriere.it

Roman Kostomarov continues his fight against fate, which was not his friend. The former Russian ice dancer — and gold medalist at the Turin 2006 Winter Games — he almost died following the complications of bilateral pneumonia which last January 10 forced him to emergency hospitalization in intensive care in a hospital in Moscow. Outdoor shows in very low temperatures proved fatal to him, enough to require artificial ventilation. Hence the drug-induced coma and the spread of the infection which led to the necrosis of the limbs and the consequent amputations of the legs. In the end the two strokes that attacked his brain. In short, a dramatic clinical picture. Kostomarov however woke up. He has no idea what happened, but still clinging to life.

What is happening to me?

The latest news on the conditions of the former skater come from Sport-Express, according to which Kostomarov would not have understood the seriousness of his condition and would be very dissatisfied with being in the hospital: What is happening to me? I do not understand, he would have said to those close to him. Now he will have to realize his new difficult condition and, in addition to everything else, also be followed by a psychologist.

There is also a new unexpected: doctors are reportedly concerned about the condition of his left hand. The latter would in fact have changed color, which could represent a new possible symptom of developing sepsis (excessive inflammatory of the organism to a generalized infection). Roman, who in recent months has been in the hands of the best doctors in the country, can count on the constant presence of his wife alongside him Oksana Domninaalso a former multi-medal dancer.
