My thoughts are with you, Its so sad to hear what has happened,I hope you both get through this hard time together.
lifes a bitch a times happens to the best of us, really touching story that i hope you both get better asap just hang in there buddy my thoughts are with you.
Hey.
Shes doing ok. Still in a coma, but getting there. Thats 80 days today. (Phileas Fogg made it round the world in the time its taken so far:confused:)
There arent any real substantial changes. She does look a bit more alert at times.
Apparently this thread is being posted on other forums which is nice!!
Im doing ok. Started a new job as storeman at Currys (i was a salesman at Currys prior to this) so im getting home, shattered, so sleeping good.
Lifes getting a bit of a routine to it. Go to work, go to hospital, go home to bed, repeat.
Im finding it easier to talk to her. I now go in and chat away, telling her what ive been up to, then i find myself just sitting gazing at her. Especially when she has her eyes open. Its bizarre.
Im also on beattablockers to keep me calm etc.
Thanks for the concern folks, as ive said previously, feel free to ask questions etc.
woow your a strong man mate :thumb:
Its good to know there are improvements, you are really strong just keep on going, all the best with your new job.
my thoughts are with you mate and i hope it all gets better mate
stay strong
glad your still going strong dude, wish you the best in your new job and i hope she wakes up soon
cant be long now with all the response your getting off her :)

also been told its on corsasport aswell
holy crap, only just seen this thread today.
really hope everything works out for you man, stay positive.
Hi mate, I've added a link to this thread on Total Opel and on behalf of the site I wanna say you've a great brave man to sit and not go mad. I wish you and your missis all the very best and a speedy recovery.
Sorry to hear that matey, I have been reading this thread for a while and it looks like you are still hanging on in there. Have to give you big respect for that. No one can really comprehend whats going on in your mind or how tough it is although many of us have probably thought about it.
It's good to hear that she is more responsive. I think this is partly your efforts seeing as your routine has been visiting her frequently and talking to her. Keep up the conversation with her fella the more stimulation she gets from a familiar voice the better.
Congrats on your new job too. I wish you all the best mate.
got linked to this thread off byebyegti.com
used to post on here alot when i had my nova but havent seen anything on here for months worth posting for.
i read this though and it was truly upsetting, i think life is harsh at times and that i have it bad. nothing even close to this though.
in all honesty though mate going through what you have would of torn me in half, the fact you can post about it on the internet and the fact you've stuck by her all this time and stayed mentally and phyisically strong i have alot of respect for you and i've never met you in my life. the world is running short of GENUINE faithful people.
stay strong fella, she'll be back smiling soon,
wow :confused:
Jesus i didnt realise this was getting posted on other sites so much!!:tard:
You have no idea how much this is helping me. My counsellor says that she is no longer needed by me as the way im dealing with things is a "work of art" as she said. SHe says that using site such as this one is a great way to help, as its basically a 24/7 counsellor at the touch of a button.
Ive knocked the beattablockers on the head too as i want to try without them. Rach being back in Dumfries is helping a hell of a lot too.
Just back from the hospital, and she seemed a bit more lively. She reached across and pulled the heart rate monitor off her thumb, as if completely normal. She lifted her head off the pillow a couple times too and tried to turn and look at me.
The nurse said that if she asks Rach to open her hand, sometimes she will do it. It may take a few seconds or she may not always do it, but it shows there is a little bit going on in there! She was moving her left leg a bit too tonight which is new. Also if i let her hand go, she will fish around for something to grab onto until she finds a teddy or a hand.
Im quietly confident that she wont be long now.......
Once again, thank you all folks. Youre helping me, which is helping Rach.
Mate thats brilliant,Your so strong and brave.What you do/have done is incredible.Keep your chin up.
I dont no what to say 2be honest mate!!
You have 2be an incredibly strong person 2go threw something like what your going threw!! I got shivers down my back when i read what you first wrote . . . . . . you are a very unique person,be strong!
Got my fingers and toes crossed that she gives you an early crhistmas present of waking up :)
Mate, you and your missus will be legends as soon as she wakes up. As you say, its only a matter of time before she wakes. You've gotten a lot of responces on Total Opel as well, so if you fancy having a gander, heres the link:
http://totalopel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=803
You may need to register to view it but feel more than welcome to do so mate. Same applies to anyone else.
sounds like it might be befor xmas, which i spect would be the best present everQuote:

omg stan, just read this thread and it has brought me to tears, its such a shame things like this happen as you never expect it to happen to you.
reading through her progress though its good news, im no doctor but that is definatly a big step forward into her waking up!
my heart and soul go out to all of you as i cant even imagine the heartbreak and pain your going through.
fingers crossed for you buddy, good things come to good people and you deserve it all.
stay strong and stay brave:thumb:
Thats fantastic news bud so she really cant be too far away from conciousness now then if she is responding to spoken requests thats awesome!
As others have said you deserve a medal for the amount of stress pain and suffering you have battled through and im so glad to hear youre doing well now, keep smiling bud and ill keep everything crossed she wakes up to you before christmas
Im not a religious man myself but seen as how its christmas and all maybe we call all say a prayer/few words to whoever may be up there and maybe we could help with a christmas miracle of getting her to wake up for you bud!
Or you could all just tell me to shut up lol
totally true, you can pay councellors the biggest amounts of money in the world and they can do amazing things in most cases. but i think you have more than enough people on here behind you fella, you know you could post on here whatever time and always get a reply off somebody.Quote:

has got to alot of people what your going through mate, keep at it you have the best christmas present of her waking up totally in due time mate
Thats briliant news dude
Congrats on the promotion too, that will sure give you a confident boost and help deflect your mind at bad times
new member christ read your post on passion ford good news made me cry 5 foot 7 and 17 stone of muscle still affects us all
I've been reading this a while, but never known what to say that others hadn't already. Just wanted to say i'm reading and hopeing she wakes up for you ASAP.
She's showing really positive signs, and your showing real maturity and strength throughout, hat's off to you mate!
Hey folks.
No real updates. Just that Rach has been moved another step down the ladder to the Acute Rehabilitation Unit, where they hope to concentrate on physio and generally getting her to move and try to rebuild/regain muscle and movement that shes lost.
Shes still in a coma.
Just back from the hospital now and shes definately making progress. As soon as i went in her room and spoke, I saw her heart rate jump from 92 to 127 and she started breathing alot faster. She responds to touch alot too. Especially her right hand, which she doesnt move much if at all.
A few very positive and some bizarre signs!
Aw Stan its great to hear more positive improvements.
Been reading this thread, since my first reply on page1, but not replied since.
Still reading, still interesting, keep your chin up - and that, in turn is helping her.
just imagine what how she'll feel when she realises what you've beend doing for her these passed weeks, and she reads this.
she'll be made up :thumb: :D
i think we all keep an eye on this thread, although mostly i just dont know what to say..
from holland i'm wishing you and youre misses all the best mate.
hop youdont mind me linking it to passionford, though some more people helping would be good! my first reply to the thread. keep strong mate! hope you get a good christmas present (if you know what i mean!)
Not at all mate. At least if it makes people think, then one good thing has come of this.Quote:

Hope youre still doing your best to smile through and keep your chin up mate, still thinking of you both:thumb:
Wish you all the best man. You are a star for being with her though all this, I really hope all is well soon. :)

Hey.
No major updates. Ive not been up since monday as i have a cold so cant go and see her, which sucks really bad.
I still phone twice a day and they say she's getting on very well. At the moment she still has her Tracheostomy, which is a pipe which enters her airway via the front of her neck, meaning she breathes through that now, instead of her mouth/nose. they have been closing the Tracheostomy off for 15 minutes at a time to get her used to breathing through her mouth again. they say thats going well.
the new ward shes in is soooo much nicer. They actually have a conversation with you over the phone, which isnt usually the case. They even put the phone to Rachaels ear so i can speak to her, which i thought was really nice.
Just read thru this, lifes a bit sh*tty sometimes fella but you seem to coping with it all pretty well (hats off to you), from what you've said theres a good few signs of improvment, in time it all be sweet, hopefully thats gonna be sooner rather than later tho.
Thoughts are with you both ... it'll all turn out good in the end !!
Your a lovely guy to be standing by your girlfriend Im sure when your girlfriends better she will be so thankful that you have been by her side all the time and I think making a diary and getting cds is a fab idea.I hope you feel better too.
Ive liked her for so long that i couldnt just turn and leave her. Not going to let her slip through.
That's lovely.
