That's awful, hope she recovers okay.

Thanks Bruce for letting us know. I am sure you will pass on our words of encouragement and friendship appropriately.

That's twice in one week for us to have very bad news. A friend of ours was run over and killed, riding her bicycle earlier in the week. It's a nasty shock.

Terrible news.Prayers and best wishes for a safe and speedy full recovery.

Is anyone able to give an update on how our AC is doing?

I have just got off the phone to Kim's parents with an update.

First, Kim's parents and family wish to thank everyone for their support and best wishes for a speedy recovery that we all know will take a very long time.

Kim was moved from ICU to a Ward this afternoon.   She is making very slow progress towards recovery and as yet needs much medical care.

A major operation is planned for Wednesday and more tests over the next week or so.

I shall be visiting the Hospital this coming Sunday to hand over a card with all your wishes etc attached.   However, I shall not be seeing her at this stage as I am coming down with quite a nasty head cold and I do not wish this cold to complicate things.  

Until Kim improves somewhat, I do not wish to impose myself on her ahead of Kim's family so it will be sometime before I get to see her.

I spoke to her mum re flowers and the response I received was "She is not a flower type girl" but I did find out that she loves the little, old threepenny pieces particularly if there is a "blob" within the figures of the date.   I believe kim herself has commented re this somewhere else on this forum.

As I get reports and approval to post, I shall do just that.

:hi: thank you very much for the update Bruce and mate she loves her 3d's and talks about them all the time and really knows quite a lot about them :good:

[Nevol]

Thanks Goldy, great to hear that Kim is out of ICU.

[Ozcoins]

Thanks for the update Goldy.
If flowers are not the right thing, maybe a few 3d coins to noodle through would be good to pass some time in hospital?
I don't know much about predecimal coins so someone else would be best to organise it, but I will chip in a few dollars if someone wants to do it.

[ausjack]

I was thinking something like that Oz or as she also loves her fishing maybe a new rod and reel

[triplewitch]

I like that idea, AJ.  She's always talking about going fishing.

Well I can tell you all that we are just so very lucky that our little mate is still with us, it wasn't your time Kim so I think you definitely have someone looking over you :angel: The thing that worried me the most were head injuries as I know what it's like to have them play humpty dumpty with you but it looks like it's all good and she's a tough one and will be back with us in no time :good:

Life is just so precious and we only get one go at it and our brain is so very fragile it's not funny and we only get one and I don't think we realise or appreciate how much we take for granted until something happens and sometimes it's too late so enjoy what we have while we have it..I didn't realise how much I lost until it was gone but trying to have a better understanding and appreciate the smaller things in life so take care and be well :friends:

I visited Kim this day and was somewhat surprised how good she looked.   Siting up in bed but a little groggy from the medications that have been pumped into here.

Good news though.   The operation to fix her pelvis/hip is no longer going to be carried out.   It was planned for today but was put off till tomorrow.

I have downloaded three pages of everyone's wishes and gave them to her with quite a comical "medical card".   She smiled and peered through one eye at some of the comments.   I think she will read them a bit better once she has worn off some of the effects of the medications.

Kim asked me to pass on a big thankyou to all that have sent wishes for a speedy recovery and in turn, this is in turn is assisting her parents to cope with this situation.   Having to motor some 3 hours up and then back everyday must be taking it's toll.

I shall be visiting Kim again on Sunday unless she returns to a more local hospital near home.

Kim is just itching to get out of the hospital and have a bath or shower according to her mum.

Gee that's excellent :yahoo: just such good news and thank you very much for keeping us updated Bruce, really appreciate it mate :friends: Yes I feel for all involved and just so thankful that all will be ok :heart:
