The worst 2 days of my life.

Kenbo, this might give you a laugh.
I've just checked back and it wasn't the first day of Cheltenham, but the Newbury comp at the end of Feb when RoyClaytonsTash said on the thread:

liverpool won ..aberdeen lost..a grim day..till i read this..yyyyyyyyyyeeessss!!!
great stuff!...hope all continues on an upward direction.

Brilliant news kenbo. Hope the improvement continues a pace. Best wishes to you and your wife. We take our health so much for granted. It's only when something horrendous occurs,that life is put into perspective.

FANTASTIC NEWS. HOPE THE REHABHILITATION AND PROGRESS CONTINUES. WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST 2 BOTH OF YOU.

Great news sk, best wishes to you both.

Great news about Traceys improvement.Hope to see you back for Sandown comp sk.

Very best of luck to you and yours sk,a frightening read this thread and so glad ive only picked it up now where mrs sk is recovering so well,wishing you all the very best of luck.

I am really pleased for you both. Let's hope Tracey's improvement gathers speed and you can get back to as normal as you'd want.

sooper dooper

Great News Sk all the best to you both

Don't give the dog any more of the leftovers from your cooking sk....best wait till Tracey's back at the helm.

Great to see this thread back with some good news, keep up the good work both of you.

More good news. Tracey came out of hospital three weeks ago and she's continuing to improve each day.

She is home alone most days and has ways of managing most things that she needs to do. Physio are around every week day and she has turned down any home help.

Walking is a bit of a struggle, but she is managing to do it by herself. Her left arm still has next to no movement but we are hopeful of improvement there too.

I'm hoping all this could be a distant memory in a years time.

great news
best of luck to you both

Thanks for the update ken..all the best to Tracey and yourself.

Great news sk,seems like a vast improvement .Things are looking up.

That is incredible - I honestly thought - oh well another nasty turn of events and totally undeserved.  Doesn't it lift your heart to hear such good news.

all the best

Thank you guys, you really are a good crowd on here.

And Roy, would you care to explain my poor performance in the recent placepot comp!

Its quite simple.You are crap.

Wow!! I remember those early posts and there were tears in this house.   So so  good - you guys just get it on together and bless every day

Roy

Mobo, there was tears in this house too! She's already far better than i ever thought she would get, but the greedy side of me keeps wanting more.

Great news, s.kenbo

Best wishes.  Progress slow or fast is all good.

Great news, you obviously mean so much to each other

Splendid news, there's no substitute for human spirit.

Stay greedy SK - it must be helping!

Brilliant news!

Remember reading this thread with a lump in my throat.Excellent news SK and hopefully it gets even better :)

Terrific news, S Kenbo. I'm really pleased for you both.

G luck to you both and your Family

good luck kenbo

Well that year's flew by.

Last year I gave her a valentines card whilst she was in a coma, this year I left it on the table in the dining room and she opened it once she walked down the stairs this morning.

Many of you already know that Tracey's made a much better recovery than the Doc's thought she ever would, she's walking round the house unaided, albeit wobbly on her feet. She's also managed to get to a couple of Derby matches this season and a trip to Uttoxeter races in the last few months, which has meant quite a bit of walking with a stick.

She does an NHS physio session every three or four weeks plus a private physio each week, it all seems to help her. Her main problem is a subluxed  shoulder which causes her pain, the specialists saw her last week to see if they need to fuse her shoulder or see if things improve in time, they chose the latter for now because it could take two and a half years for the nerves to regrow. The left arm still has no movement yet.

She's back working two days a week, which she's really enjoying, and she does a bit from home one day a week. There's still loads of hospital/doctors appointments she has to go to but things are looking good. Before we know it it'll be Feb 2016 and I hope I can add some more good news then.

Thanks for all the well wishes we received on here. 

Well done Tracey.

Happy Valentines Day to Mr & Mrs Kenbo

Very unlucky in today's Placepot MD.

Thanks, Kenbo. I'm very happy with second place tho'

a nice story to start the day, all the best to both of you

Great news s.kenbo, well pleased for you both.

Great news Kenbo, wishing you both the best.

Thanks all.

Nice to read some good news for a change. Hope MrsK gets back to full health soon MrK.
Not sure taking your missus to Derby matches is a good thing though.

Great news, Kenbo. Good luck to you and your wife. We moan and worry about the little things, like losing a lay bet but at the end of the day those things are so unimportant. What matters is our family and good health. You have come a long way in the last 12 months, long may it continue!

Good luck & good health Kenbo & Mrs Kenbo 

that's great news kenbo. Wishing you both all the best

ttt :)

This has been so touching.  Very rarely have I read EVERY post on one thread. From everything Mr and Mrs Kenbo have been through, to the messages of warmth and encouragement from so many contributors. Thank you for sharing this s.kenbo, it puts everything into perspective.  May I add my own wishes to you both. The courage and strength that you've displayed has been inspirational.

Well said A.S. I totally agree with you as I'm certain everyone else does as well.

same as.............G.L.

Seems a really positive update kenbo. n1

All the best to you both, great news sir

Aladdin. I was so unsure when I started this thread whether I was doing the right thing or not, I'm not normally the type of bloke who'd open up to a group of strangers about something so personal. But as you said the support I got on here was fantastic, I could be more honest typing my feelings on here than I ever could at the time speaking to friends and family about it.

Thanks yet again everyone.

Great update, S.Kenbo.

Really hope Tracy gets back to full health in the fastest of time.

Nice won
best of luck to you both and all on here

forgot about this thread, great update kenbo

Great news Mr, Mrs SK.

I have no doubt that your tremendous fighting spirit has brought about results way higher that your expectations.

You have my best wishes for the future.

Two years to the day since it's happened. Where does time go?

There's been no real change since the last update. Her left arm is still useless but there's slight movement there now. We've had our first holiday since it happened which I was dreading tbh, but that went fairly well so I've no qualms in us going again soon.
Her mindset is still fantastic and she's dealing with it superbly. I think they main thing she misses is driving, because she's always reliant on me/others and she feels like she's lost her independence.

life is tough at times,im caring for my parents,hard work,one with dementia,other stroke etc recovery

It's not easy mate but it has to be done. You've been dealt a bad hand with those two things happening to your parents.

Good luck.

I remember this thread first time round Kenbo and great to hear that she's dealing with everything. All the best to you.

Cheers, Johnny. I tell her having a superstar for a husband must make her life easier!

Thanks for the update SK. All the best to urselves and Padlock.

Thanks, Blackrock. And thank you for last years best wishes too.

Good job we're both pervs, SK, or the last few years would have been hell for us both..

Keep the hugs a comin...

Whatever gets you through these things imo............

More best wishes from me

best of luck kenbo team

best of luck Kenbo.

It's three years tomorrow. Her mobility hasn't got any better, but she's learned how to deal with it all and takes it in her stride. She got a disability car last week, and had a couple of driving lessons yesterday to get use to the adaptions.

I've just skimmed through the thread, and it was like having an out of body experience reading it again. Once again, thanks to everyone (even you Stewarty b!) for all your well wishes at the time, and since, it did/does mean a lot.

All the very best to both of you Ken

Thanks for the update, Kenbo. I'm glad to hear Mrs Kenbo has a car and will have her independence for getting out and about 

Best wishes to you both x

Have just seen this thread for the first time and whilst i've not read through it all I would just like to wish you both well.I can't really imagine many worse things happening than what happened to your wife.

Best wishes to your missus s.kenbo and all your family.

So glad things are much more positive, puts life into perspective.

Best wishes.

Thanks for the update Steve. All the best for the future for the both of you. Even though mrs kenbo gives me no lip.

All the very best to your wife and you kenbo, stay strong.

Thanks guys (and Maykbe).

See you again in a years time!

Might run into you before then

Whilst trying to go in the opposite direction from me!

I'm your Kathy Bates!

Daffyd.

Not in uk at the moment ,sitting in hotel room bored and saw this thread for the first time.
Brings life little things into perspective. Best of luck. Deepblue

Very true, Deepblue. Thanks.

S.kenbo

I don't often comment on here but feel compelled to after reading this thread for the first time. It's a real eye opener as to how people's lives can change overnight through no fault of their own.

When I made my first ever post on the HR forum you (and Chelsea Girl I think) immediately came on to welcome me to the forum. It didn't take much for you to do that but meant an awful lot to me at the time and gave me a good idea of the type of person you are. I've always considered you to be one of the most down to earth and happy go lucky characters on the HR forum which, in light of what you and your wife have been through in the last few years, is some achievement in itself.


It's heartening to read that she's now getting some of her independence back with the new car. I wish all the best to both of you going forward.

What a lovely thing to say, Basil . Thanks mate.

Best wishes for the future.

Yeah, stay lucky Kenbo and all the best to your wife.

Wishing good things for the both of you.

Echo all the posts previously. Good luck for the future Mr and Mrs SK.

Just wanted to add my best wishes. It is amazing how adaptable the human body is and remember the prime instinct is survival. Make the most of the your time- it becomes even more valuable as you get older and inevitably runs out. This is no consolation to you, but recently it fell upon me to attend cancer clinics in the private sector over a period of months. Without going into any details I found out what I always new to be true, that those with  positive attitudes make the best of their situation. Look to the future, make the best of it and good luck!

Hello kenbo. I'm sorry the update did not bring better news, but it is very positive that your wife is doing her best to adjust. I can't believe it is 3 years since your original post. Wishing you both the best.

I seemed to have missed this thread, kenbo, for which I am really sorry  

I am so glad it has turned out much better than was hoped, you deserve it.
