”The intervention went successfully today. But the battle continues”. With these words, young Erjon Vishkulli shared with his followers the news of the successful completion of another surgical intervention in Rome, while another important challenge for the future of his eyesight awaits him.
The 28-year-old, through a heartfelt message, says that next week will be decisive, as he is expected to undergo another intervention, which he describes as perhaps the most important of this entire journey. “After all the pain and challenges I have gone through, my greatest hope is to regain the light I want to see in my life. I don’t know what awaits me, but one thing I know: I will never give up!”, Vishkulli wrote.
He thanked everyone who is close to him, who pray and believe in his recovery, while at the same time expressing confidence that he will find the strength to face this challenge as well. Vishkulli had previously undergone a surgical intervention at the “Gemelli” clinic in Rome, made possible also thanks to financial support of 5 million new lekë from the government.
During the first operation, doctors managed to remove from the eye the foreign body that had caused the injury. The removed material is expected to be seized and undergo expertise, in order to determine its nature, as the Tirana Prosecutor’s Office had previously announced. Preliminary suspicions are that it is a rubber bullet, which may have been used during clashes in the first week of the protest. However, the final answer is expected to be determined by the relevant examinations.
