A month ago Prince Ronny van Teuten (Bergeijk) was seriously injured in a one-sided car accident. It looked bad and the chance that he could lead the way in the polonaise seemed no chance. But the highness recovered in ‘wonderful way’. Now, on the eve of Carnival, he is eager to party. “Who would have thought that? We are going to experience the carnival nicely. ”

Ronny Schijvens, as he is called in real life, is all too good that he has had an angel on his shoulder. But that it would also help him to recover so quickly, he never dared to dream. “It’s going fine. My ribs were broken, but I hardly feel it anymore. My wrist is still a bit stiff. I can’t do much with that yet. And I can’t stand too long, then I get pain in My shoulders.

The prince collided at high speed on January 21 at a tree on the N397 between Eersel and Bergeijk. Among other things, he had ten broken ribs, a broken wrist and a broken index finger to the accident and had to stay in the hospital for days. The association feared that carnival would be different than usual. But Prince Ronny did not give up.

Recently he took a daily walk to get fit again. He also followed a special therapy for his ribs on the advice of acquaintances in Reusel. “Top athletes go there too, I heard. So I thought: that’s really something for me, “he says laughing.

“Maybe the prince’s science has been the motivation.”

“I had a treatment for 2.5 hours for three days so that I would be fit for carnival on time. It really helped me. The recovery has gone super fast. Perhaps the Prince’s shelter has been the motivation. “

The prince is looking forward to carnival, especially the parade on Monday in his Teutengat. Where it was first thought that he could not go on the prince wagon, there is now hope. “I want to try that. It is part of the Prince. “

“It’s great to be on top of it. The Council of Eleven has made all kinds of adjustments to the car. For example, an extra beam has been made so that I can hang out if it gets too heavy.”

“Only someone has to bump into me and then I have a problem.”

Yet the prince still has to take it easy. “I will not be at the forefront all the time in the polonaise. I have to be careful. There is only someone to bump into me and then I have a problem. Fortunately I have a great advice that will protect me this carnival. “

He will also not nonstop can be present at all festivities. “I have to take my rest somewhere in between. But I want to experience as much as possible. ” Earlier he hoped to be able to jump on the billiards again, but it seems a bit too early for that. Just like a lot of sagging. “It is mainly Spa-Vla’s (ed. Beer diluted with sparkling water), because I have to be careful not to drink too much alcohol. Then I might go too much. “

That he should pay attention does not bother him. Because he is going to ‘experience’ the carnival despite everything.
