About Me: Overcoming 60+ Fractures To Becoming An Athlete

I’m only 22 but I feel like I’ve been here for eternity

My life challenged me with obstacles that would probably take people 5 lifetimes to achieve. And I’m still here, stronger than ever!

Let me show you what was that big drama about.

It was February 23rd, 2002, when my mother gave birth to a boy.

He was crying more than any other kid

He was in terrible pain

He had both of his femurs broken

Doctors couldn’t comprehend why I had both of my femurs fractured.

They told my parents that I’d probably not survive my first years. That they can’t plan their future around me. That they should plan to have another baby.

They sent me to the largest hospital in Slovenia.

My mother and I were there for 6 months.

Doctors gave me 15+ different diagnoses. They were in complete confusion. They didn’t know what to cure.
