I'm overwhelmed by all these positive replies, thank you all so much.

It doesn't sound very good for my poor wife though. It sounds as though her spine has been starved from a blood supply, and that that section is now dead, and can never be brought back to life. I just pray that the doc's are wrong.
My best case scenario now sounds like things of my worse nightmares, and that is that she is paralysed from the shoulders down, but is able to breathe for herself.

I can remember posting on a thread recently, asking us to rate our 2013, I almost gave a 10 out 10 because our life was so perfect. It's cruel how things can change so soon in life.

Please get better Tracey.

prayers and thoughts for you both sk

i'm just lost for words - so sorry

Jee-sus, Kenbo, awful, just awful, rotten things happen to good people all the time, where's the justice? Really thinking about you both and hope the best case gets a lot better.

Any pics? I mean, I know this is a serious thread but a guy's still gotta perve.

S.Kenbo, what a terribly sad story. Life is so fragile, all the things we take for granted are just hanging by a thread. I wish you and your wife all the best and I hope you both manage to adjust in time and share lots of smiles and love in the future.

Ken Masters hang your head in shame for what you just posted.

Roger, ok fair enough, that makes it a lot more understandable. It read as incredibly crass and insensitive to me and I just posted my immediate response, but you're right, I'm just posting on a public forum and I don't know the relationship between the two. If S.Kenbo isn't offended , that's all that matters. If that's the case, sorry Ken.

all the very best buddy and like everyone else i hope things work out like they should

So sorry to hear Kenbo i hope and pray for you both .

Sorry to hear the updated prognosis is not what everyone was hoping for, keep the faith s.kenbo, your wife hasn't changed, only her circumstances, please god they change again for the better

So very true CL. Without trying to sound too sickly, she really does have a beautiful mind. I really hope she can keep that.

^^ That is so true Ken. I'm not just saying this because she's in a bad way, but she really is the most beautiful, caring, funny women you will ever meet.

I was punching well above my weight the day I pulled her.

That could almost have been me typing that in the autumn of 2011. Up in the morning with an exciting week ahead, and the best thing that ever happened to me was her usual bubbly happy self. By lunchtime a sudden, fatal heart attack had ended it all. The best I can say s.kenbo is, where there's life, there's hope. I wish you all you wish for yourself and your missus.

I've just read s.kenbo's 01.41 post and have now got something in my eye. That was desperately sad to read that. I just hope the doctors can perform a miracle and get her up and about again.

Just read this thread now. Awful news, so sad. Thoughts are with you and your wife S.Kenbo mate, please God things will improve.

All the very best to you both...

Deeply moving to read about Tracey and your love for her.

Never give up.

Yes, quite, reading that makes me think perhaps I shouldn't takes Mrs M quite as much for granted as I do, I might pop into the Texaco garage on the way home tonight, make a proper Valentines of it.

I hope time's the healer it's often reported to be Alias, really.

Blimey! What a tragic story.

Puts betting, naps comps, petty arguments, hassles at work, and everything else
into it's real perspective.

Family and loved ones so important and quite often taken for granted.

Really hope and pray that there's better times ahead for you both.

Not a problem.

Awful situation Kenbo
She needs you to be there for her more than ever.
Best wishes and good luck to you both.

Without sounding like a broken record, thank you guys so much. Your words really do help even though I don't know any of you personally.

A slightly better update tonight. She's still unable to breathe for herself, but they are bringing her out of her induced sleep gradually. She's opening her eyes every now and then, and she's also very aware of who is around her.
The best news of all though, is that she managed to give my finger a squeeze today. Which has given me so much hope.

Alias, your story makes me realise that this nightmare could be so much worse. At least Tracey is alive, and I'm still able to tell her how much I love her. I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope time really is a great healer.
