Jac, it's fine, was a few years ago now. She lived for 18 months after the accident, but it left her extremely brain damaged and disabled and she was never able to live at home again and eventually died of pneumonia. I feel I had 2 mums; the one before and the one after the accident as she couldn't walk or talk after it. However, I still feel blessed & grateful that I had such a wonderful mum. Sorry, didn't mean to intrude on your thread, it just gets to me sometimes. How is your friend feeling now?

Re: A Dreadfull Accident


Kim, You didnt intrude on the thread, that's what it's all about. If you want to talk about something thats fine.
I understand about your mum. Some things bring back memories. When I was posting this I was thinking about my friend to be honest. She was out with her hubby and fell in the street. She never recovered, if she had she would have had no quality of life. She damaged her brain stem. It was her funeral in Sept.

Back to the original post ha we do diverse dont we!!! The girl is getting out of hospital tomorrow. She's a friend of a friend. Seemilgly she's doing much better.

Re: A Dreadfull Accident


Thanks Jac, yes I remember you saying she was a friend of a friend. Pleased to hear she is coming out of hospital.

How sad about your other friend, what a freak accident. To be honest my mum had no quality of life after her accident, but we willed her to live after she had major brain surgery following the accident. No matter what there are always so many 'if's & but's'. Mum's accident was on a Good Friday and we were staying with mum & dad. I heard her fall and gave her emergency first-aid. My daughter was coming down the stairs with her. My poor dad was in a terrible state. Bless him, he died of a massive heart attack a year after her accident, I think the strain was just too much. Mum had her surgery at the London Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, there was a few programmes on the TV recently about the hospital, did anyone see it? That brought back floods of memories. Yes, Jac we do divert don't we?

Thanks Jac. Yes Rachel felt terrible and had to have counselling for a while. It was a very difficult time for all of us, but behind us now. I am lucky to have a great brother and sister and we all supported each other.

Oh Jac, what an awful thing to happen I really hope that your friend's back recovers and that she manages to get over this.

Kim, I am so sorry to hear about your mum's accident and the knock on effect it caused; the subsequent death of your dad and your daughter needing councilling, I'm pleased that you have a supportive family and that you have all come out of this well at the other side. {{{Hugs}}}

Thanks Fran. I feel I have taken over this thread somewhat, I am sorry. Some things just bring it all back and therefore the need to 'talk' sometimes. I am sure some of you already know what happened as I have mentioned it before.
