Things we don't really need to know - but then..........

Yes @darrenhayes

.Nurses wake u up ask if u need tabs to sleep better.

and another one that used to happen to me in hospital when i was little

the nurses would wake you up to have a needle to help you sleep == WHY !!!

Hi @darrenhayes

Thanks for telling us a little about yourself - it's really hard to answer people if we don't know anything

I have gathered by now you have been feeling really frustrated in getting anyone to talk to you - but this thread is for just about any odd tags and bits of life or whatever

However I know more about head injuries than I would like to - my ex bf had a severe head injury with deficiencies that he worked hard to overcome - but for the rest of the time I knew him he had residual physical problems he could not overcome

So I read here that you have head and spinal injuries that will be eventually terminal - I am really sad about that - I can't imagine what that is like - but I can tell this is really hard for you

One thing I can only assume but knowing what I did about my bf - he had a lot of trouble communicating with people when I first met him - and with practise this became easier for him - so the more you write and maybe start to get helpful replies then you will find this easier

How extensive were your head injuries and spinal injuries? Are you able to type without too much trouble.

Let's hope you can find some people who will chat - once they know something about you I am sure they will

Lots of luck with that and glad you replied

It's really great that you wanat to help others so this never happens to anyone else. I am glad you have come to this site and told me this - it is honorable to hope this never happens to anyone else - but alas - it will

But please share your story - if you want to do it on this thread that is okay with me

Hi @darrenhayes

I cant but be overwhelmed just reading about your physical challenges. I can understand you would be a master or managing negative thoughts to be able to contribute to the forum in the way that you have.

I take my hat off to you.

Good will to you and Gentleigh Bentleigh

Hi @darrenhayes

Thanks for telling us this - it does help us to understand

Having so much damage to your brain stem is an horrific injury - I can't imagine this

But chronic pain is something I know about.

Are you having any pain management for this? - having pain to that degree is really compromising - making it hard to have any quality of life

Can you tell us what happened to cause such severe injuries? You are right - nothing you say can stop someone else from having it happen to them - eg - when it comes to driving - people can only control their own driving and there are other people on the roads - people of all sorts - who can get badly injured

Keep writing now you have started Darren - you life must be difficult and lonely - do you have people around to help take care of you

Hi Peeps - I have a joke - and if every one groans - that's okay -

Back in the days of sailing ships the ship's captain and the ships surgeon found two weevils in their ships biscuits and the captain asked the surgeon

"If you had to choose between these two weevils and your life at sea depended on it which one would you would you choose"

And the surgeon chose the larger because he was fatter and stronger but the captain chose the smaller saying

"I chose the smaller because at sea one often has to chose the lesser of two weevils"

Okay - okay - okay I know - it's terrible
