Hi all! Just a very quick one, before I go back to the hospital.Thankyou so much for your thoughts and prayers,much appreciated xxx.
Things have not gone as well as they could, & he landed in icu.The good news though, is he is going to a ortho. ward in the morning.So off the danger list.
He is massively confused, which is worrying me,& keeps begging me to take him home.The staff are not bad, but I wish they would keep me in the picture more,have to drag anything out of them,if you know what i mean.Very frustrating.
Anyway,off I go again, thank god i drive,or it would be the pitts,but dont ask about parking!!
The confusion could just be a result of the anaesthetic and should wear off. Sorry to hear about the ICU trip and hope he recovers quickly back on the ward. Hugs!

Hope that he is on the road to recovery and that road is not too long. Our prayers are with you both. Big hugs and kisses.
He has had a rough time, but hopefully now he is out of ICU things will improve enough for him to he home soon. Agree with your pals it could well be the drugs making him confused.
Hi Wendells so sorry things have not gone as smoothly as you expected. I hope now he is out of ICU he will recover quickly and you will be able to bring him home.
Lots of prayers and good wishes coming your way.
love polly xx
Sending good wishes for a speedy recovery. Stay strong

Good Morning Wendells, Wishing you every good wish and a speedy recovery for Harry. With every best wish and lots of love TAD xxx
Very pleased to hear about Harry's progress. Good to hear he is better, but perhaps once he is at home, he will feel settled and less confused. Nothing like home surroundings.
Wendells, if you haven't done so already, ask for a interview to out your questions forward.
Thanks for letting us know how things are. Hey, at least he is out of ICU - that's a great step forward. Some hospital staff do need surgery to extract information - but some good advice from Annie, our practical one xx Take care of yourself and give Harry all our best. xx
Hi Wendells, coming round in ICU, full of drugs is very confusing. Once you have him safely home things will settle. You are a vital part of his support package so take good care of yourself, physical and mental. All goo wishes for you both.
Hi Wendells That's the worrying part over, mostly on your part but I'm sure Harry is a relieved man as well, It's up and at them now it's the start of another road to walk, Good Luck to you Both from Me and Fran.
Still in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, pleased it looks a bit better. He may come on leaps and bounds now.
Love Tina x
Thinking of you sweetheart. You have had so so much to cope with. I think with the combination of the brain damage Harry aquired in the accident anaesthic and unfamiliar surrounding its not suprising he is confused bless him. Hopefully things will ease when he is back home. Please remember to take care of yourself too Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, take it one day at a time
Hi Wendells, not so good news about Harry's visit to ICU but good news he's out of danger and is getting out. I had 10 weeks in ICU when I first fell ill and I now call it the place of miracles as they certainly worked a miracle with me. I was told by the staff when I left for the wards, i was their new record holder for the time spent in their care. Gulp! it kind of brought it home how i'll I had been.
It'll take Harry a while to recover from that as they tend to pump you full of drugs which can stay in the system for a while, Sharon told me I used to talk more rubbish than I normally do when I first escaped, I don't know what she meant by that, Ha Ha
Make sure you look after yourself and send my best wishes to Harry when you see him.
I think confusion is common in ICU .When my husband was in ICU he thought he was on starship Enterprise,and was convinced the Filipino nurses had no legs, they just glided around- also they didn't have skin but some special material on their arms.....he was also sure that if you went out the door you ended up in a forest (on the Enterprise???). The good thing was, after a couple of months they asked him back and showed him around, because they had found many people get disturbing flashbacks of ICU and going back when you were better was a great help. They even went through his notes and showed him the consent form he had signed, as he had no memory of agreeing to the op. (he had a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurism). Let's hope Harry is soon on the mend, and really can come home. Take care. Gill
Hi Wendalls,I,m so pleased Harry is coming out of ICU, i,m sure as everyone says it,s just the anastheics & as soon as they leave the system you should see a big improvement,
