Ken had an accident a couple of years ago...He was on his motorbike driving down the road and a lady pulled out in front of him....He t boned the car and went over the top of the car sumersaulted and landed on his feet jarring his back and ankles and hip then fell and slid along the road....For those of you who know me Know he is a firefighter in the army...Because of the damage done to his back he was today ruled unfit to serve in the army....He will be medically dischard in a couple of months...He isn't taking it to well...From the time he was young all he wanted to be was a firefighter...it was his childhood dream and something I encouraged him to do through the army when I met him...He was to old to join the regular firefighters then...It has been a long hard trip to get his dream and now because a lady didn't look his dream is slowly crubling before his eyes...i feel so much for him it is hitting him badly...We have been arguing alot lately because of this but now he is talking to someone which i think is fantastic....He will get an army pension I suppose and there will be a payout from the accident...The only problem we might have after that is living together all the time hehe no just kidding.....These things are sent to try us I think hey...it does mean that I can go back to school Uni hopefully and follow my dream now as long as it doesnt affect the kids too much but we will see what happens with all that yet....It has been a hard couple of weeks all round at the moment...I think the ladies insurance has to pay him out for his career being ruined as a result of the accident...He has two smashed discs in his back and alot of soft tissue damage...He has lost 10% of use in his back and they can operate but after his last op He and I are both scared of him going under the knife too soon...He coughed breathed in vmited breathed it into his lungs and stopped breathing so yeah no we are not too ready for that anytime soon....Well I got that off my chet now so take care all and be careful driving....you are not only driving for you but for others on the road tooo....

thanks for sharing!
thanks for sharing that. Sounds like my accident! It took away my dream career too, and took away my health at 19. BUT within months I was counting my blessings and realising that good things were still happening. And now, 18 years later, I wouldnt go back and change it - I'd forfeit the love of my life and my kids, none of them would have happened if my life hadnt taken such a big hit. So I s'pose what Im trying to say is for you to keep that wonderful positive outlook of yours, look for the good things, and fight on. Hopefully you'll all soon be turning down that trip in the time machine to go back and stop that driver from pulling out!

Hi Ange
I'm so sorry to hear about this. It's such an incredible blow for your husband's dreams to be shattered like that...... I can only imagine what you've been through together over this. It's only normal for you to be fighting and tense with one another at times. It would be unusual if you weren't considering the stress you're both under! I hope he can find happiness in a new career opportunity and that now you may also be able to do something too. Things like this always happen for a reason but it's impossible to believe at times eh? You're doing well to try to look on the bright side and it's great that he's able to talk to someone about what he's going through. It's such a tough time. My hugest sympathies for you both.
