This is fantastic news and ur doing really well. I know my parents were the same as you just after my accident and when I was nasty to them they just laughed it off in front of me but they said that kinda helped me stop being nasty.
Hi and well done for realising so early that its what you can do that is important.
Yes we all want to do more but it is sooooo easy to lose sight of what you can do.
It seems unfortunate that hospital concentrate hugely on physical recovery and not mental recovery. Yes its a long road along the mental recovery highway and its not a well mapped one.
I managed one night in hospital before being let loose on the world ....oh with a leaflet outlining the warning signs...ok apparemtly I discharged myself but that is another issue
Once again well done and all the best on your journey forward.
Well done Rose, if you have seen my post you will see that they have sent Ian home with no back up either, so we are both in the same boat. Its rocky but just got to take it as it comes and agree whole heartedly if you can have a little laugh together the rest you can cope with. Take care and keep smiling.
Hi. That's great news I'm so pleased for you. Yes you have got the right attitude. Take one day at a time. Things will get better, you have to work at it to make it happen. Please let me know if I can help you further??
Well done Rose for reaching a point which many of us took weeks to reach. Despite being thrown into this strange and frightening situation with no back-up you've, almost overnight, got the hang of the essentials. And your wisdom in seeing that there'll be more tears to come, and more frustration, is what will see you through the long period of Scott's rehabilitation.
I was still in the High dependency unit at the stage of Scott's discharge, with weeks of nursing care ahead. So you've been, and still are, at the centre of a very demanding role. Be proud of yourself, and give yourself the credit you deserve for getting both of you through these recent hair-raising weeks !
And next time you need to scream, we'll be here with love and hugs. Take care Rose. xx
So pleased to hear that you're managing, after all you've been through and the strain you've been under. I agree / the support of the people on the forum is invaluable.......I consider myself so lucky to have found it as it's been my life saver. Here I am again after three hours sleep, not too despondent I can have log in and say hi to everyone and see what everyone's up to at five in the morning - and find a bit of good news to 'like'. Thank you for yiur post, and good luck with all your forthcoming appointments and admin. You'll get there in the end x
Glad to hear that you have reached a place of feeling more positive. You will get through taking it one day at a time, smiling when you can. I hope to soon read about your PIP award and other things sorting themselves out too. Very best xxx
