I'm sorry, but there's no point to wisdom after the event - that an accident on a given stretch of road is 23 times more likely to involve a motorbike, though they account for just 3% of road traffic, and the accident is forty times more likely to be fatal than a car-crash. They are inherently unsafe. OK, he's made it this far, he looks like he's gonna turn the corner real soon. It must be very hard for you, having him there, but unreachable, I've had that with my elderly parents, when their times came. But that was through old-age. These damn bikes, they are for the track alone. I won't ride on the road, Barry Sheene wouldn't. I'm sure you've seen the carnage they cause, as I have. I don't really know what else to say, it's all up to him now. But I bet when you get him back, you'll insist it's a car for him in future.
All my best to you both.

As a nurse you know his body has been told by his brain to rest and the ventilator can take some much needed pressure off his brain and heart.Just trust in him to be strong and make a gradual recovery .It is possible and happens quite frequently.

Firstly i am so sorry, you must be going through hell right now, bless your heart. To be honest, whether you are a religious person or not, prayer can be very powerful, go to the hospital chapel and light a candle for him, do your best to empty your mind of everything else and pray for him. I have a disability and have spent a lot of time in hospital. I want you to know that i really admire the work you nurses do, hang in there, God is with you, i will pray for him too. If u would like to get in touch please do thru my profile, i would like to know how he is doing. Love and hugs xxxx

I have a story to share with you to keep you thinking positive.
My partner was in a severe accident. Suffered severe head trauma, internal injuries, ruptured spleen, collapsed lungs, broken neck and shattered leg.
They said he wouldn't make it, but he did.
They said he wouldn't walk again, but he did.
They said the brain damage was so severe that he may never speak again, but he did.
Just as he was almost "out of the woods", he fell ill to pneumonia, and they said he might not make it, but he did.
He was hospitalized for six months, but he MADE A FULL RECOVERY.
Except for some short term memory loss, loss of sense of smell, many scars, and the necessity to be on seizure meds for the rest of his life, he is now healthy.
I didn't meet him until two years after the accident, and except for scars - I would've never known. He has also gained a greater appreciation for life.
Never give up hope.
Sending best wishes.

It must be horrible for you. I can only imagine. You have to keep strong for your partner for when he comes around, and he will! Unfortunately your life will be put on hold until he gets better and there is not a lot you can do about that but what i would say is talk to someone. Its important to share your feelings and get things off your chest. Are you able to talk to your partner? Perhaps he will be able to hear you in some way and it may be reassuring for him to hear your voice.
I sincerely wish everything works out alright for you x

Pray and ask God to help you and he will.
I am a nurse too and know when you are going thru something like this, you have enough knowledge to make you more anxious. When you are feeling anxious, pray and find comfort in knowing there is a higher power who can fill all of your needs and
You will be all right.
