that's great news it must be a relief for you mate

Thanks again to all of you.

Yes a relief he is progressing well indeed.

It is a surreal feeling, sometimes numb, try to keep busy so I don't think excessively about him, other times it is tragic in way, then I can be a little hard ass having spent a long time in hospital myself. Guilt because of the distance to visit and not being there for him

Overall hope and remaining positive seems to work atm.

thinking of you mate, I hope for the best

It's great to hear he's making progress Jonno.

Thanks for the update Jonno - that is really encouraging news.....

Yeah, thanks for the update. I wanted to ask... but didn't want to ask, in case it brought more pain.
I'm really pleased to hear he's improving. Great to hear some good news
Take care of yourself too Jonno

Good to hear things are continuing to improve Jonno, thanks for the update. Keep positive and take care mate.

Update.

I called into Vic Rehab center on my way to Adelaide recently and seen him over two days, he didnt know i was coming and was so happy to see me, we talked for hours about everything and joked about the whole thing (which is our way usually to deal with shite), I took him for a cruise in his wheelchair outside and loved the 12R and remembers being on the old one in Qld. He actually wants to get a bike of his own still

Anyway he is doing very well, talking and really likes to have visitors, he is trying to regain strength to walk, and still has his sense of humour

His short term memory is not good but he remembers some things after being reminded. His speech is a little slow and his immediate choice in vocabulary is somewhat limited but improving daily. He holds a conversation very well and remembers weeks later which is great

He is looking at intensive rehab for the next 5 months or so which is way too long as far as he is concerned but a good spirit to be in IMO, in that time they may fix the hole in his skull, but overall it is a remarkable recovery


I read him some of the well wishes from here and he was a little overwhelmed and so was i actually by his reaction, he said to thank you all

Thats Great to hear Jonno, thanks for the update

So happy for him, you and your whole family Jonno, fantastic news!!!

That is great news, thanks for the update Jonno

Great news Jonno.
Cheers
