Hi Everyone.

I wanted to update this as its been a while since I've been on this forum! And I've received a few emails.

It may take me some time to help people with various questions and parts.

In 2014 [i think] I fell into a coma over nite in bed.

The story is one that books could be written from; even close to the film: The Time Travellers Wife or Bourne Supremacy. Basically I'm a young healthy man, don't drink or smoke age 37 work hard "HUGE" passion for cars and restoration work etc. Anyway I head to my bed with my long life partner, giver her a kiss good nite and snuggle up tight for the nite.

5 Months later........ I wake up in hospital.........Got partial Memory loss, vision gone, can't talk, breath, walk, most of the normal functions gone. I couldn't hold cutlery right in my hands.

So what happened would you all say...........Well I took a very Very rare Extreme version of a brain malfunction called Encephalitis. The type of this condition I caught is so rare, that they still don't know what they are dealing with? The specialist here continue to speak to other specialists in UK and further afield regularly.

I'm in and out of hospital every so often still..... and on allot of medication. I'm currently on 29 tablets a day and that's been reduced to that number!! I used to have to jab myself with a steroid, plus take a build up fluid however that's now gone.

It's now been a while since I've been out, but still hard......I have an amazing Doctor that won't give up on the fight. I would give up quicker than him. These guys don't get enough recognition.

I still have partial memory loss, my spelling is not good unless the computer system does it for me lol. It took me hours to remember how to login in here and reset password etc. All good there now. I can't write that great by hand yet, which is annoying if wanting to take a quick note or for me to create a new artist drawing of wiring looms and so forth. Can't even take my Lambo for a drive, it been stored now for 3 years. But still looks well lol

Anyway I won't bore you Gentleman and Ladies any longer. Just remember to kiss your partner good nite and kids as much as you can......

SO How has everyone been?

That's pretty incredible, welcome back and keep getting well
 
I wish you good health Sir. Keep up the fight and reward your doctor by getting better.
 
I don't know you, but that is one hell of an experience that you had and are still having.

Keep up the fight.
 
Thank you all for very kind reply.....the fight still continues. There are days where I'm getting out of bed on my hands and knees as it a while for legs to kick in properly. I'm not a heavy chap at only 9 stone or less, but still painful all the same. I used to use the 3 wheel machine the hospital gave me for moving around, but don't need it now. Was in a wheel chair for a long time too. Thankfully it's gone lol.
 
Onwards and upwards.

Keep fighting... I'm sure that you will.


(I'm sure that you won't be short of "volunteers" to give your Lambo a run...) :devil:
 
Hope things look up from here on, as I got older I learned not to take life for granted and enjoy and make the most of life while you can.


which is why I got a gas guzzling V8 and dont let fuel concerns worry me :thumb:
 
Wow some life story and great you are the one telling it. All the best and seriously I'm available for taking you out to scrub the tyres!!
 
Very best wishes and wow, what a story, it's great to know you've not got back on here, and I'm sure we'll all be very happy to see the picture of you back behind the wheel of the Lamborghini!

However, as stated in an earlier post, if in the meantime you need someone to take it for a spin, then I'm happy to help...

:)
 
Computer or not, you are obviously gifted in the written word.

We all have crosses to carry, but some crosses are heavier than others, and your cross sounds heavy indeed.

Needless to say, you sound like a fighter, and that you want to enjoy whatever life gives you. If anything, you could be inspirational to others who are suffering some illness.

Anyway, my best wishes are with you and your family, and I hope you conquer your illness and have a quality of life.

Cheers.
 
Your post is inspirational. It's impossible to imagine what you have been through but it's great to hear that you are making good progress. All the best to you.
 
Thank you most kindly....

I read allot off proper paper back books, not really an Internet person unless talking to you kind gentlemen and ladies.. and the other clubs. I find the great written word as you said is found in paper back, which is getting lost.


Thank you... It's been a long battle. I hardly remember my friends or cousins either. I could pass them in a shop, or people say hello and I have no idea who they are still. It's only when they fill in the gaps, does some things come back. I have a 4 year old son, I don't remember anything about him at all. I was there for his birth and he spent most of the time with me growing up as my partner worked too. So I was mum and dad allot due to her job and time scale. This is very difficult part, not remembering him or time together.

With my brain disorder, Jumping back and forward through time is a strange feeling. When I feel a seizure coming on, I seem to go WAY back in time. When you tell this story, nobody really believes it lol. I have to wear a dog tag bracelet on my arm with all the details in case it happens when I'm out. As I say, you need to watch "time travellers wife" as its close to that lol

I'm another newish member that's not lucky enough to know you.

Thanks for sharing your story and your words are truely inspiring.

The last sentence in your post makes me smile. I never let a day go by without telling my wife and daughter just how much I love and appreciate them.

Take care, please keep us updated as things progress.

I too don't know you, but I wish you good luck and speedy recovery; you'll get there.
