Desperately Seeking Help for my Brother

[Arthur Little]

Rosie ... I'm very conscious of the fact that you were one of the many kind people who congratulated me on my recently notching-up 8,000 posts on the forum. But any "attainments" of this sort pale into relative insignificance when compared with yours and your brother's real-life achievements.

Thanks to a uniquely-admirable combination of your selfless, unflagging devotion to the ministrations of his everyday needs, the constant, unfailing love of his partner ... and, not least, his own "fighting spirit" - born of a steely determination - all the indications ARE, that your brother is making remarkable progress.

And amazingly ... you manage to cope with the demands of a full-time job - and still find time to willingly offer wise counsel to others here. You're truly an inspiration to us all, Rosie!

Bless you Arthur, thank you so much I really do appreciate your comments and also the rep you have given me. I was warned that the road to recovery would be a very long one, if at all, and I will not give up hope nor trying to help my brother as much as I possibly can for as long as I can breathe.

Being an expat, living in the Philippines for over 15 years and having 2 ex filipina wives and a current partner who is also filipina, my brother obviously has a few things in common with a lot of the guys who use this site. I just hope that lessons can also be learnt from his terrible experience by others, ensuring that should things go wrong whilst living abroad, that the correct insurances are in place and that there is a support network available to help should it ever be needed ........ family, friends, employer, etc.

Thank you to everyone for reading and contributing to this thread. I will continue to post any progress
