He had the ultrasound in mid-September. “I have a birth defect in my right kidney.” On October 17, he underwent tests at the hospital for six hours. “I took different liquids to test the efficiency of my kidneys. My right kidney was only functioning at 28%. The urologist wanted to operate on me the next day because I was losing two to three percent every week. I I refused because the Watducks had three important matches in eight days.” He put his health on hold for the good of his club.
Finally, the intervention took place on November 5 which deprived him of three matches: Namur and Daring without forgetting the Cup. The operation didn’t quite go according to plan. “In the end, everything ended well, but the operation lasted four hours instead of an hour and a half. My tube was upside down. It had to be turned around. I had kidney stones .”
This Friday he will remove the staples. He will still have five weeks of rest. “In absolute terms, the timing is not too bad. I am on a career break with the Red Lions. I stopped after the Games. I will resume in February for the Pro League. I am not playing the indoor season . With the Watducks, I will miss three games anyway, I have no choice.
In his calendar, he marked December 18, the day he left for… India. Victor Wegnez was picked up by a club to play in the lucrative Indian championship. “I play in the same club as Vanasch and Poncelet. I will be fully recovered. Today I am happy because I will have a functioning right kidney again. Maybe that will help me in my life.”
