Hi all...This was the week of my SAH 7 years ago...the days of that week seem so blurry to me even 7 years later. I had my SAH and only spent a few days in the hospital. I was good, thunder struck but no physical issues...then less than 48 hours after getting home, the worst thing happened to me, I had a severe vasospasm... I was alone, I wasn't even aware it was a possibility, so terribly scary for me and transported by ambulance to a big neuro center in Boston...long story short 7 days in neuro ICU 2 weeks in rehab and lots of PT afterwards, but I survived. I am really good considering, only some balance issues and some vertigo. The emotional toll was big but I am good. Enjoying my life, seen grandbabies born, son get married and 7 more years with my hubby...oh yes I am good and thankful. This site has been a God send to me. First you know what I am talking about haha...Just love you all and what you do to help others, made such a difference for me. Thank you all... xx Jean

Thanks for your post Jean. Congratulations seven years on. You certainly had a rough start to this SAH journey. It's been a pleasure to keep in touch with your recovery since you joined BTG. You obviously are over the moon with your 'expanding' family. Seeing these kiddies grow can be such a boon more so when trying to recalibrate life post SAH. Great to have all your news from your side of 'the Pond' 😊 Keep positive and so thankful you have been able to enjoy all these precious moments with your family. Subs

There`s no going back You`ve a new life ahead Confusing, upsetting And at times full of dread There`s no going back There is no quick fix But you`re building your new life With different bricks. There`s no going back BTG wants to help you Their message is clear Rest-drink whatever else you do. There`s no going back We go forward together Each day in our posts We give help to each other. There`s no going back With these highs and these lows And our will getting stronger The end result who knows But we are going to adapt Our work may need to change Take account of our brain Our schedules rearrange But we are going to adapt House work can wait As I negotiate with my brain On how much it can take But we are going to adapt If I take too much on Fatigue will soon hit me And I won`t get it done. But we are going to adapt Each day helps I feel. I must not be impatient Give my brain time to heal. When will we arrive there? We are all different you see The road that you take May not be for me. When will we arrive there? I`ve come to accept That each day brings new meaning Things I didn`t expect When will we arrive there? Please..family…wait and see I`m confused and uncertain Please be there for me. When will we arrive there? There is no way to know Just hold my hand tightly Where ever I go
