Morning bloggers,
Ben is coping better day by day we are getting used to and finding new ways to do things. We went to out patient physio yesterday and saw a new guy called Robin as we sacked the last Ravi wankerdom! Robin was great and really inspirational he was amazed at how well Ben has progressed since the accident. Robyn accessed Bens xrays and really didnt have very high expectations of his ability or levels of physical strength - so well done Ben and another good guy on the team. Ben will be under the supervison of Robin for the next 6 months or so. He needs to up his walking and keeping working on building wasted muscle - roll on the new house and we can walk along the sea front :)
Bens up and down emotionally because of the accident but he has great support from his friends and family, he's keeping really busy and having some normal fun times with the boys again :)) Thanks for Monday Shane was lovely to catch up and grrrrrrr and la la la :) even though it was soooooooooo FIFA loud lol. Joe, Phil and Fred you are the 'BOYS' amazing and thanks a million x Really good for him last night Stevie Mac - normaldom and was great to see your lovely parents.
Lovely to see Graham on Monday you really do always say the right things and bring things back into perspective when the going gets tough! Looking forward again x
Lots more going on to keep Ben busy and his spirits up until our next out-patient appointment the week after next.
Its been a difficult week for us all but its improving. Lots less stress in the house and moving forward in many ways.
You are doing great Ben and deserve everything the future holds for you. You are an amazing young man and have so much to look forward to. Keep positive and believe in yourself as you have sooooooooo much to give and deserve so much more in your life :)
lots of love x

He is coping better but it is very difficult for him and he has so much to do and remember. Unfortunately the complications of the latest surgery are making some of his exercises quite difficult but he is doing really well - well done Ben love!
Thanks to all his friends for their continued support you guys are all amazing medicine for Ben and have helped him to see things clearly and positively. With the support and love of you guys and his family Ben continues to amaze us all.
Special thanks to the Albany and Perry Sopho, to Stevie Mc, Sam Pye and Rosie Barrett for Friday night :) - was soooooooooooooooooooooo funny! Special thanks to Mr Stoughton for yesterday :) and to Shane who is here right now :)
Same as always keep the positivity coming this way for Ben he needs your energy and good wishes x

Ben had his operation yesterday the stent had been placed into the damaged section of the urethra it will stay in situ and allow the area to continue to repair for the next few months. The urethral catheter has been removed and the super pubic replaced and spiggoted so that the access is available in case of an emergency.
The actual proceedure went well. Ben was in a lot of pain last night as the anaesthetic wore off. Poor sod is knackered but calmer and sleeping at the minute.
Unfortunatley due to his internal injuries Ben is now faced with further associated complications.
Mr. Junaid (Bens surgeon) has been to see us this morning to discuss the operation and options. He wants Ben to be monitored in here over the next 48 hours. The Sister just came in to say he has a specialist nurse appointment at 11.30 this morning so lets see what that brings.
And so it goes on and fucking on! 1 step forward and 10 steps back - so sorry you have to go through all this shit Ben we would give anything to make it all go away and you get your life back
Cant wait for October 13th 2012
:(

Tuesday 11th October
Well that was a stupid bleedin day :((
Cut a long story short Ben didn't not have his operation today as they appear to have forgotten to order the stent! The only piece of kit needed for the job?
Poor Ben's been well pissed off but we got motivated late afternoon, had a wash and polish up, did some pyhsio and then went for a pizza express with Dad
(Sorry Sam but you was busy in Brixton Town ummmmmmmmmm xx
They are aiming for tomorrow and were suitably embarrassed. Not good enough but what can we do!

Morning all,
Apologies I know its been a while since I last visited there's been a lot of mending going on :)
If you are still reading then here's a bit of an update for you.
Bens been getting on really well, the hospital beds gone back and he is getting up and down the stairs so he is now sleeping in his own room again - but we do need to get him a more comfy bed!
His Orthopaedic surgeon is over the moon with his progress, his pelvis has been re-xrayed and all is looking really good. We have a fab physio who comes to the house, her name is Toni and she is really great. Toni goes the extra mile thats for sure, bless her last week she turned up with her husbands playstation/steering wheel/pedals and racing game so that Ben could practice with the pedals as a means of physio for his right leg and foot :)) Ben now has his little 'blue badge' and is happy to travel by car with his little pink arse cushion so we have just started to attend out patient physio as well. Our first visit was last week and the guy was shit so he's been sacked. We have a differant one to see once Ben comes out of hospital again.
The abdominal wound is nearly nearly healed just the last little bit left to go :)
Bens still working hard with regard to getting the nerve signal's going to his right foot and toes. There's now a little movement in the toes and his specialist said this is really positive :) He gets around for short distances with his crutch or alternatively in his wheelchair. Theres a little bit of 'podge' around the belly lol - the weights definatley gone back on and the muscles are looking mean :) Well done that man and thanks Matt and everyone else who has been helping with the weights
We have been in Barts since Saturday as Ben was called in to go on IV antibiotics and fluids prior to his urological operation tomorrow. All your positive energy tomorrow for Ben at this is a biggy for him.
Everything is going well for us at the minute and Ben is in a good place. He still gets down/angy and emotional but that is only to be expected with everything he has had to endure physically and mentally.
As Ben's physical ability continues to improve everything is gettting so much easier at home. There is so much less stress surrounding everyone now and it feels great.
Daves working really hard on getting the house ready for us and we are hoping to move the middle of November. Everyone's really looking forward to a fresh start and leaving a lot of crap behind. Sam will be nearer to university, (Pye will be nearby to keep the luv thang going)) I need to get back to work (lol) Dave will hopefully get some local work on top of the usual stuff (he's already been approached)
Ben's been given a second chance :) Go for it kiddo you're young and have lots of catching up to do
follow your dreams and explore that big bad world theres plenty of time to play grown ups and be old and grey (ask Dad!) hahahah
Go nuts Staaby
