    I had assumed that they had slipped into a daily routine and that's hopefully, were passed disasters happening. I'm sure she has her plate full anyway.
    Wish her and hers the best though.

    Thank you:D

    Been a while...thanks for the concern:D

    OH is back at work, albeit not full time but getting there, pain wise he is just uncomfortable, broken bones healing, docs say give it a while longer and it will all be more settled, docs found a few probs with his liver ( nothing life threatening) and his crash has made him have some back of throat pushed out a bit, making some loud noises/snoring, prevents him from sleeping properly so suffers with tiredness, poor concentration, weekends are known now for sleep catch up if he can get it;)

    No more home visits, they are they if we need them but no meds, some specialists up at the hospital to see one on friday but more than anything it is just get on with it, let time pass, I know OH continues to be a bit 'come on already' attitude about the whole debacle but he knows deep down he has got to put up and shut up:D


    Exhaustion hit me like a bolt out of the blue one morning, it is hard to put into words, not like just get a bit more sleep or delegate, or take a hol, no, just sheer exhaustion, every muscle in the body aching, physically and mentally exhausted, uhm that was a challenge:(

    It has been nearly half a year soon, wow, could say that went quickly but everything looks easy when you are out of it and look back:D

    It is all going in the right direction, that is the main thing, it is a slow race but we get through it together:D

    Heartfelt thanks to all the PM'ers, will catch up with them, thank you, to each and every one of you who read the thread, posted, helped, was there for me, for us, cared, sent love via the cyber web, we both thank you so very much.

    I hope somehow the thread helped someone else also.

    Thank you:):):)

    Thanks for the update. Being back at work in six months after an extremely serious crash is pretty good going. Time is a great healer.
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

    It will, perhaps not all of it and perhaps differently, but it's his chance now to make the most of the life he so very nearly lost. Wishing you both well.
