Need prayers for a severe accident victim....

zephyr22 · Apr 18, 2005

A few days ago a distant freind of mine who I have not seen in a few months was in a very bad motorcycle accident. He has severely increased intracranial pressur ( pressur inside the skull, usually from swollen brain tissues). No one knows how this will come out. He may have some severe brain damage. Or he may come out ok. No one knows. Just say a prayer if you all could. Thanks.

Hope all turns out ok for your friend. You must be a good friend because its times like this that true friends stand out. If he does not awaken not sure if he is in coma or not read him mags from bikes or bodybuilding mags or whatever he likes to do. I did that for a friend of mine who was in a bike wreck when no one else stay around. He is still disable to this day but remembers me being their and talking about the things we did before his accident like normal but he could not wake up. Take care.MM

If it helps your hopes any, I have a friend at the gym who has a niece 17YO.
She was in a bad car accident and had brain swelling and all.
It was touch and go, not knowing if there would be brain damage.
In the end there is not brain damage, and although she is busted up some,
the worst is over.

I will say a prayer also. I know first hand how they go. I was in a severe ATV wreck on 9/21/03 and suffered a bi-lateral sub-hemtoma of the brian. I was life flighted and in a coma for 3 days. I had a 25% chance of living and they didnt think I would be able to do much. I am not 100% but I made it and was lucky to not have surgery because I was breathing on my own and the swelling stopped and went down on its own. The after math for me is scary but I can only imagine for friends and family how scary it is. I can picture my mother in the truama center about to loose her son and that tears me up. I was 23 at the time of the wreck and I am too young to leave this world. The things that saved my life were bodybuilding and my size of my back/neck, it stopped me from snapping my neck. I have lost a great deal of mass since the wreck but I see there are a lot of more important things in life but BB is still important to me and I would like to be my past size. As far as the brain injury, I have suffered severe memory loss and depression. I also abused a lot of alcohol and rec drugs after words to not deal with the mental pain. Being clean now has helped tremendously. There are also, atleast in my state a lot of different brain injury groups (support groups etc.) so I hope he makes a speedy recovery and he will be in my prayers. There are many obsticales in life and this is one I faced and I dont wish it on anyone. PM if there is any questions that I might be able to answer.

A prayer indeed, Bench is a personal friend of mine, and I have witnessed some of his recovery.. It's amazing to say the least. His mental strength amazes me. Good luck to your friend too Zephyr, and stay strong.

I appreciate the kind words Moose, it is hard to have the mental stregnth at times but that is where friends (you) jump in to lift me back up.
