    I know it sounds crazy Victory but either you or your inlaws should have a day off from the hospital and try to rest as much as you can. All 3 of you going every day is not going to help any of you in the long term and as OH is mostly out of it, as long as there is one voice that he recognises, that will help him as well.

    I know you want to be there when he wakes up but you have to look after yourself as well.

    As for the rambling, from what dad said he felt like an elastic ball that he couldn't get out of and cocooned in, my guessing is that mixed with sedation it happens to everyone in different ways.

    I agree with the poster (apologies useless with names) about having a day off, ur be shattered, uve got the boys, inlaws, the house, more importantly YOU, let the inlaws go and u catch up on some rest,

    Hope the operation goes alright and it gives you some way forward xxxx

    So sorry to hear your news.

    I was in a very serious car crash about four years ago while 6 months pregnant and I must admit I can hardly remember anything about that time now.

    I was apparently awake even when the firefighters were cutting me out of the car, but have no recollection of this.

    I was rambling away to myself due to the drugs and repeating myself an awful lot.

    Hoping for a speedy recovery.

    Hi victory, I second the suggestion about having a day off from the hospital, They will ring if your needed and all of you need to recharge your batteries. Just let the ward know your not going in. The inlaws sound as though they need a day off and you most certainly do, just all of you put your feet up and relax.
    Sending you my very best wishes, keep strong xx
