Recovery

[pussnboots]

Has anyone just watch 'Recovery' with David Tennant, I have a past experience of brain damage in the family, this programme was really spot on and the problems in this drama do actually exist, has anyone else been through the same.

[B00]

Not been through the same, and hopefully, God willing, I never will!

Got to say though that I thought it was an excellent one off drama. It really does make you think, I'm sure that I'm not on my own in thinking that once a coma victim is allowed home that everything in the garden is rosy again. I never imagined the difficulties that a family in that position could face on a day to day basis.

It was very thought provoking and I'm not ashamed to say I blubbed in several places throughout it.

Hi BOO, thanks for relying, I lived with someone and cared for him after a severe brain trauma and from a very intelligent man he became someone who couldn't even remember my name.

[pussnboots]

Sorry..... Replying

[B00]

Well God bless you then pussnboots, because ever since the programme finished I've been pondering whether i'd be capable of doing such a thing if that happened to a member of my own family, and you know what? I'm really not sure if I would be :-(

Take care of yourself

You would do it BOO, you would have no choice, you could not when faced with this problem walk away, it turns into a mission because you are always trying to get the person back that you once knew.

Could someone please tell me how it ended was so annoyed with myself I fell asleep. Yes I agree you wouldn't walk from the situation.

Me and my partner were involved in a car crash 2 1/2 years ago. I was knocked out for the count on the 1st bump. He was wide awake as the car rolled and smashed along the motorway. At 1st it was thought I was dead, and then when I was brought around I couldn't talk - except total mumbo jumbo. It only lasted a short time, but my partner couldn't watch the programme as it brought back to many memories or what happened and could have happened.
