A quick update -
Hubs took a turn for the worse yesterday afternoon and was dashed down to Exeter - he now has a bed in what is reported to be the best Orthopaedic Hospital in Europe - this will become his home for the next few weeks - Round one of many surgeries is planned for tomorrow - The KWire in his foot needs to be removed as it is causing damage to what little bone he has left - The Doc is going to do all he can to enable Hubs to walk again - I'm praying harder than ever that the surgeons hands are blessed and enabled to perform miracles - My heart is breaking - My head is hurting - I'm tired - I'm emotional - I feel lost when Hubs isn't around - The distance between here and the hospital is just too far - The drive back and forth takes 90 minutes each way (so long as you don't get caught up behind a tractor!!) - I arrived home at 3.30am this morning to find J curled up in our bed (he is missing his partner in grime more than we ever anticipated possible for a kid who suffers from attachment difficulties)
The bed is too big without Hubs in it and our house doesn't feel like home when one of us is missing.
Feeling totally bleurgh today but also thankful that my Mom is here to hold my hand and wipe away my tears - and to tell me that in time, its all going to be OK.....I know she's right - I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed by the events of the past few weeks and the reality of it all seems to have hit me hard over the past 24 hours.....I NEED to continually tell myself to stay POSITIVE......WE WILL get through this.....I KNOW we will.

So sorry to hear that things are still so tough Tracie. I'm praying for healing for your hubs and strength for the rest of you.
I am so sorry you're going through this awful, painful and completely stressful time. I wish your hubby all the positive thoughts in the world that he improves every minute of the day.
I think through these kinds of traumas tiredness is the thing that makes everything seem so much worse - try and catch a few minutes rest to recharge so that you can be strong again for yourself and your family.

Aww Tracie, I'm nearly in tears myself .... stay strong and positive babe and as your Mum has already told you, everything will turn out right in the end. Its always a tough time when something like this happens and my thoughts are with you and your family. It sounds as though your hubs is in the right place and the surgeon will do everything in his power for him. Please keep us updated on how the ops go and try and catch up on some sleep, even though its hard as you are worrying about him. At least if you can get your energy levels back up you will be strong for everyone. Take care and big hugs, Claire xx
Still got you in my prayers GF, things will be better soon!
Hi Tracie, I just wanted to say that I am really wishing your hubs a very speedy and successful recovery. My oh has a motorbike accident about ten years ago, he came off the bike and hit a tree which smashed his whole pelvis, his shoulder and his leg. He was pretty much a goner and it was definately thought he wouldn't be able to walk again, or even have kids. He was in hospital for 3 months then in recovery for nearly a year but he DID learn to walk again and we have 2 kids now :) he is sporting many many battle scars and has a pelvis full of metal, he limps because of damage to his spinal cord but that is slowly getting less and less noticeable. I just wanted to let you know that there is hope, I know your husbands injuries are just so horrific and you are being so positive, just don't give up, am thinking of you xxxx
Keep thinking positive!!! (and let go the tears)
Hugs
