Bad news :(

[Dazza1]

On the way home from my grandads funeral yesterday I get a tex of my best mate and like a brother simon some may have seen him at fcs. He told me his mum is on a live surpport machine due to a brain emerizum sorry can't spell. She went shopping then went home and had a bangin headache. She rang the ambulance herself when my mate got home it looked like she had had a stroke all her face was dropped down and she couldn't talk propley. She has had 2 op's but they say they think she is paralised down 1 side. I went up and see her in kings collage hospital and it looked like she had been beaten up she had a black eye and her face was swollen. Really feel sorry for my mate and need to be there all his family live in Devon and we've been close for years. We went primary and secondary school together and he was my best man and my kids god father. I dunno what to do I just feel helpless I took him food up last night and dropped him home I don't think he will cope once we find out the out come

Bad times Daz

Best thing to do is keep by his side and talk positively to him. I think its the best way to keep him on a high then thinking negative and getting on a low.

When we was goin home I said do u wanna say goodbye to her he said no I know it was a nasty thing to say but I said if u don't say goodbye if anythin happens in the night your never forgive yourself. I've canceled all my planes for goin Wales and Manchester just incase somethin happens. It just didn't look like her layin there

That's horrible news

Thoughts out to his family and hope she isnt in any pain.

Hope you're alright as well. Don't beat yourself up too much as there really isn't too much you can do than to be there for him. Sounds like he needs a mate like you

 

[Dazza1]

Mate just said she had to have another op to relise more prussure

Very sad news mate. Best wishes to your mate and of course his mum, must be a really hard thing to have to cope with.

 

[Dazza1]

[Daveyb133]

best wished to you and your friend at this sad time mate. best thing u can do is be there for him. he wil come to u when he neds u so just make sure you are there

my heart goes out to you and your mate.

I know what its like to be in a situation where you have no control like that. You are being a great friend to him and thats what he needs. Fingers crossed his mum has some good luck

Thoughts are with you and your friend/his family mate. Such a terrible time of the year for it to happen as well, on top of Christmas. All I can say is I hope things do get better for her but I can only imagine how you are feeling, especially when it's a close friend. My only other advice would be whats already been said above, to try and maintain optimism and keep positive.

Take care.

Well put Sam. It says it all realy.

 

[Dazza1]

Just got a phone call it's not lookin good. Her brain is still welling and her eyes r not responding to the light. There winning her of the drugs now but there's a 1% chance she will be ok but she will be a vegetable state. My mates really not gonna cope he has depended on his mum all his live cos just her and him live up here

i know it's not quite the same, but a friend was in critical care after a head injury from hitting a tree at about 40mph on a mountain bike. He was kept in an induced coma for a week and had a <10% chance of pulling through.

Appart from needing to wear an eye patch or blacked out contact lens due to one of his eyed focussing differently to the other, he has almost made a full recovery.

Keep positive

 

[Dazza1]

There turnin the machines off later

 

[maggi200]

Gutting. I can't begin to imagine or understand what your mate must be feeling. Hope you're okay as well

 

[Dazza1]

It hasn't sunk in mate. Think I'm gonna take him out on the lash that's all I can think to do

 

[Monster Detail]

Really sorry to hear about this, mate. It's terrible that something so awful can happen so suddenly - it really puts things into perspective.

 

[DrDrew]
