Please spare a thought....
 

Hey Guys...

2 of my really good friends were involved in a horrific road accident some weeks ago in India, 2 days before they were due home.

One suffered less (broken ribs / dislocated shoulder / bruising and cuts) however the other was less fortunate. Ruptured spleen (removed), 8 broken ribs and a punctured lung. She was in ICU for a few weeks, they had big issues trying to reinflate her lung, and she was in immense pain. The were eventually transfered to a large medical centre in Delhi after some less than pleasant times in place they were in!

Anyway friend who was worse off has now been out of ICU for a week, and they both fly home tomorrow - she'll be on a stretcher the whole way, and travelling with her brother (who flew out in a hurry) plus a nurse and doctor.

I am really praying that the flight goes well, and they arrive safe and sound - can't imagine flying is the best thing for dodgy lungs, but they wouldn't allow her to fly if she weren't fit to.

I am just so pleased they are goign to be home for Christmas!!

Praying all goes well tomorrow.

Best wishes to your friends Bandit ...

I think there's quite a few people I'll be sparing an extra thought for this Christmas. Not that I don't think of them anyway, but as usual, it always feels more poignant at this time of year when everyone else is happily tucking into Turkey with laughing families - and for others, Turkey would stick in their throat :(

Wishing everyone a peaceful 2008 .... :)

yeah - there are loads for me too, but this in particular has been an ongoing one for a few weeks now..

Lets hope 2008 is happy for us all!

Puts things in perspective a bit. Hope all goes well for them.

I'm relieved that I've just heard that both girls arrived safe into the UK. The one worse off, arrived this morning and admitted into hospital straight away - the other girl landed this evening and no doubt will be treated as an outpatient and have a thorough examination.

I'm very happy they are home, and back with friends and family.
