Welcome back mate.

Glad to see you back online and healing well.

Sorry for being a bit slow on this, but what exactly did happen to you? I know you were electrocuted, but how did it all happen? :confused:

Cheers bud. All I can tell you I have done above though.

Normal? Normal?? Never!!!! :D
But prayers and good wishes gratefully accepted.
 
Wow, that sounds pretty bad. Has anybody worked out what happened to you? Stumbled on to a live wire? Why were you in the woods - just going for a walk?

That is seriously unlucky, but even more lucky to have survived and to be here to speak about it. :)
 
You are now at a very rare point that few people have faced in life, and that is facing your own mortality.

From what I have read here, it seems that you have taken quite a hit from what you have experienced. Few people have to face such ordeals.

The only other people I have known to do similar have been people who have either died and been revived or those with incurable illnesses, and it certainly has an effect on them.

One thing that you should be very thankful for is that you have an established family. I was watching a 25 year old Parkinson's sufferer on TV a few nights ago, and he was coming to terms with the fact that he had it and that he would still have to find a wife when most other people get the disease at a time in their life when they have a wife already.
I assume that if a person has faced their own mortality, and they already have a family, it can put things in perspective for them and make them understand just how important that is.

You'll have to help Treefrog Jr make a sig ;)
 
God that sounds horrific, I'm really glad you've pulled through it and have the right attitude and outlook to get on with fully recovering. It takes a big man to do that. :) I take it you don't know who brought you to the hospital? I read somewhere else that you drive HGVs, at first I thought this accident must have been caused by driving into an overhead powerline or something similar. But it sounds like you've been hit by lightning or something. :eek:

I was thinking that. It must be very difficult to start relationships knowing that eventually you will be completely debilitated, or have some kind of disability that makes you stand out from others.
 
Ah, excellent news Treefrog!

Best news, infact I think I've had all week. Good to hear that all is getting near to normal, and most importantly that you can, ahem, use the Andrex yourself :D

Good to have you back ;)
 
Thanks Davey, I'm still peed off at not being able to make the bbq this year and actually meet you and Lynnie, FF, LeperousDust and others.

Humour is how I prefer to handle it Longbow. It's happened, it's past, the situation I'm in now is what I'm living with. I can either brood about it and throw my toys out of the pram or I can accept it and see the (often macabre) funny side of things and get that enjoyment out of it. In life, the optimist and the pessimist both arrive at the same place, but the optimist has a better journey. :)

CBS, the most sobering part of this whole thing was looking at the photos of me that were taken shortly after I went in. Looking at them brought home to me, in a way that words can't, exactly how bad a state I was in.
Apparently (I was told, I don't remember) one of the first things I said was "Tell my ex I can't have the kids this weekend". Family counts for a lot with me.

Well, there's a bit of nerve damage in the median nerve in my right arm which affects the sensory nerves in the thumb, index and middle fingers on my right hand (not motor though), so the Andrex can be a bit tricky.

I'm still using puppies. ;) :D
 
Don't know you personally , But i've followed the threads about what you've been through.

Good to see you posting , and hope your recovery is going well.

All the best,

Mark

Aye, a nurse on your ward told me that when I phoned to enquire about you, also, your ex said the same thing to me herself when she phoned to let me know your predicament.
Speaks volumes about you mate. ;) :cool:

Right, thats enough being nice to you! ...... :D
 
Welcome back Treefrog, your attitude is brilliant, the power of positive thinking cannot be underestimated.

Sounds like you have been through a horrific experience, and its to your credit that your dealing with it how you were, i know if my nipples fell off i doubt if id retain a sense of humour. :p
