It's crazy.
So we had to organize a medical chat, getting him up to Germany.
He was then underwent surgery four days later in the university clinic in Heidelberg.
It's a town close to Frankfurt.
but very well known for medical kind of difficult situations.
They saved him, they saved him.
Was it that close, Jürgen?
It was, yeah, it was in danger from the moment basically it happened until the moment they could now do surgery and it all went fantastically well.
They put four screws into his neck, into the upper spine, basically.
They connect it to the C1 and C2, they call it, the vertebrae is there.
And they will come out in six months and he will be like before.
It's fantastic.
We are so thankful to the people there.
We're thanking God every second.
But I have to be honest.
it completely took, took me off, uh, off balance for several weeks.
I was, uh, I flew over right away.
My wife came as well.
And, and, uh, it was like walking in fog because, you know, I'm not a medical person and, and I don't know the severity of certain things and, and, uh, just not knowing what will be for quite some time, you know, uh,
It took me a while.
