That didn’t go well, I slept for about 2 hours. These tablets surely aren’t working. I call the doctors as I don’t want to go the whole weekend without a wink of sleep. 11:30am I’m home from the doctors, they wanted to get me in ASAP...
The doctor was right, the tablets worked a treat. The first night's sleep I've had in nearly 2 weeks. I wake up at 8am looking forward to relaxing for the day and really trying to catch up on some more sleep. 8:10am I jump out of bed...
Lauren knew I needed help, she’d spoken to a counsellor to get me help, spoken to my family for support, I’m not getting any better. Trudy (my aunt) was staying in a cottage for a week near me and wanted to come and see me....
I can't remember much from this day, all I can remember is Lauren working tirelessly to get me in touch with a therapist, and fast. We've booked an appointment to see someone experienced in treating PTSD symptoms. I may come back to this day if I...

Jeff has had a great week, we’ve all been with him to offer support, he’s been out and about a lot, even made a work call when he shouldn’t have been anywhere near the phone! He’s eating well, playing a lot of PlayStation and his memory...
We’re back to normal, Lauren and I are taking it in turns to go to work, we’ve both got the most supportive employers, so I go in to work in the morning and leave at lunchtime and then Lauren heads into work for the afternoon. The...
Lauren and I are off to Jeff’s work to let them know he won’t be in for some time, we won’t go into any details but of course they need to know – we'll just tell them he’s in hospital and had an accident. We’ve spent...
Jeff’s mum has been with him all night, he’s been awake at times and is taking in his surroundings. 8am we get to the hospital, eager to see my best friend back. A miracle, Jeff is talking, he’s breathing on his own, he’s exhausted though....
