SEOUL - The recovery of Haeng Jik Kim after his brain stroke is proceeding faster than expected. The young Korean billiard player is still in the hospital, where the encephalomeningitis (an infection in the membrand of his brane) still has to be cured. Doctors have decided continue the recovery with medication and not to operate.
WooJin Park, the coach and confidant of the Korean billiard players, has contact with the family and girl friend of Haeng Jik.
He says: ,,Haeng Jik recovers very fast, even faster than many doctors expected.'' That is the good news for the moment. According to people around Haeng Jik, he makes a cheerful impression, he can move, speak and laugh.
,,It seems that our earnest desires have reached heaven.’’
Haeng Jik’s girlfriend likes to take the opportunity to thank all of you again for your sincere words. The young guy reads all the messages with his girlfriend and he really loves seeing your support.
The rapid recovery is probably due to his young age and great physical strength. The largest portion of the blood has been included in the brains and what is most important: there are no bleedings anymore.
Haeng Jik is now moved to a general ward. It is still unclear when he can leave the hospital, but the doctor indicates that might be pretty soon.
Haeng Jik also has a strong will to overcome this situation and wants to come back to the billiard world.
