 I am Father Tata Hum Frimbui, a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Bermanda, and the Director of Communications for the National Episcopal Conference of Cameroon. I was born with no knees, and my knees were knocked. My parents didn't take care of that. I didn't care about it either. And I played football very well. And things were getting worse, but I wasn't seeing. In 2008, I went to study in Rome and in England, and I wanted to check the knees. And when I went to the doctor in Rome, he told me, Padre chinkwanta chinkwanta, 50-50, if he does the operation. So I said, if it is chinkwanta chinkwanta, I am not accepting it. One way I am sure. I came back to Cameroon, and every day I got pieced up because the pains were getting more and more. And one day I decided to meet some Spanish technicians who came to Cameroon and who were experts in knees. I went to see them. They looked at me and what they suggested, I wasn't too comfortable. And not only what they suggested, but their price was exorbitant, was frightening. And then I had a friend who came to Manipal. They told me, wow, father, I think you should go to Manipal. Without thinking, I decided I would try this Manipal. Everybody else was scared of the knees except my sister. She was the only one who said, no, it would be okay. I was more than scared, I cannot tell you a lie, because I've never been sick. The last time I went to hospital was 30 years ago. So when they told me I was going to come and be operated, my knees cut and replaced, I resisted but she kept on saying, no, no, no, we'll do it. When I reached here and they took the first X-rays, they frightened me because it was like my knee cap was almost being eaten away on both sides, and that's why I was getting the pain. They gave me an anaesthesia from here downwards. I was conscious of what they were doing. I could hear all the x-rays. And I knew they were my knees and they were my bones. And I was like, God, am I going to get through all of this? After about five hours, they all smiled and came up to me and the lady doctor said, it's okay. It's okay, you are okay. Everything is fine. To tell you the truth, I didn't feel any pain till today and that's what shocked me that for an operation which one expected frightening pain, I did not get as much as, and I'm not exaggerating, I didn't get as much as little pain like that. So I was wondering what have these guys done to make me so comfortable. One week after operation, here am I, able to stand up and walk. They give me joy. They make me feel happy for a while where I see young people, young medical doctors ready to take up what they can do and do it with care, do it with decency and do it without bothering. That's my message.
