Clara you are early in the recovery, don't cut people out of your life don't be hasty....  

It will get easier in time honest.....

Hi Clara

Wow I could have wrote your post in the early days so know where your coming from even now..

The job I was in when I had my hamerrhage I was a telephonist receptionist me on the phone now doesn't happen all that often.

5wks is very early in your recovery slow and easy does it, rest lots keep well hydrated don't think too far ahead (re-work and stuff) 

Hi Dotty

warm welcome so glad that you found us.

I think its all quite normal everything that you have mentioned its all a huge rollercoaster ride...

the two replies before mine say it all so take care of yourself and wishing your Dad well...

Hi there

warm welcome, so glad that you went to see about the pain, keep well hydrated and rest lots..

take care

Thanks guys for the info Ins done all booked.... 

Sounds very like when I was in Rehab.

and I ditto what Super has said, it all takes lots of time easy and slow....

The OT's are used to all this try not to worry..

Thanks for the info really appreciate it.... 

Well I never thought I would be asking this question, for those that have traveled abroad any hints and tips about travel insurance I and Ronnie would be greatful suggestions of good insurers....

I have never flown since the mid late 90's and things are so different now...

thanks in advance...

Hi Kristi, warm welcome to the site glad you found us.

no need for appologies your doing great.

Glad your finding the site helpful - we've all 'been there' 

Rest when you feel tired, listen to your body if it says sit-down sit.  keep hydrated...

Hi Hannah

Warm welcome glad you found us.

I'm afraid I don't drive but as far as I know the hospital test is more or less the same as when you get your eyes tested,   

Take care

Heard about Rockingham lots my family are in Perth and Bumbury and other parts of Oz too.

I'm in Scotland.

Hi there

Warm welcome glad that you found us.

I think we all leave hospital without hardly any to no information and you're definitely not alone in having that feeling 'what if'. It does get easier as time passes.

you'll more than likely get an outpatient apt and then you can ask questions - advice there is to write questions down and take someone along with you to the appt.

Rest lots, keep hydrated...

Oh I have family in WA.  you'll be going into spring/summer so do please remember the hydrated thing...

November 1999 clipped and sealed with platiumn also have a shunt in my head, was left with a bug in my brain which develoved into Meningitis so when that reared its head had to also have a drain put in....

Sorry I cant tell you about the first few months..

Jess, is correct everyone of us is different everyone has different SAH's and recovereies..

Keeping stressfress as much as possible (not always easy I know) keep well hydrated....

Hi Amanda

Warm welcome to the site, glad you found us.

Aren't dates funny mines happened 3months to the day after my 40th birthday, and on the same day 40 years before I was christened... there are down bits to dates too but not posting that...

Take care look forward to hearing more form you.

Sending you hugs Andrea, its natural to worry but please, please try not to stress so...

Just found this post but wanted to add Oh  me too..  I don't so much get a headache its more a vice being squeezed humid and thunderstorms aargh!!! 

Hi Elaine, welcome don't think I've said that to you just saw this post..

all seems to be going well for you, it takes time...

This time is for R&R and R (rest, relax, recover) and NO your not being lazy you had a Brain Haemorrhage be kind to yourself...

Short walks, lots of rest listen to your body keep hydrated...

Hey I don't like change much either even the smallest and simplest things set me into melt down hate that but cant help it its how I am now..

Yes I would finish the NHS sessions (it's so hard to get onto something don't back away) 

Hi there, welcome.

Go straight to A&E as Macca has said your describing the classic symptom.

so please go to A&E don't wait.

lets us know how you get on..

Hi there and warm welcome to the site, as ever Macca explains it, ditto your not alone we've all been there, we all 'get-it' type-o's and all...

Hi there welcome

if your anxious see your GP, I had tremors and they did ease only when I'm stressed now are they obvious.

Oh Jan sorry to hear your feeling like this honey.

get an appointment with the GP and see if they can help..  Go on pick up the phone and get an appt.

I'm with you 100% on No family support I don't have brothers or sisters just Ronnie...in the last 17yrs we have just muddled our way through but I wouldn't wish that on anyone Jan....

You haven't moaned I'm thinking maybe invite them all your family that concern you I wouldn't go so far as a meal or anything (I'm thinking they don't deserve that - or is that my family I'm thinking about)  Anyway invite them give them a drink they'll need it - lock the doors if you have to, to keep there attention, type up what you want to say and tell them let me speak first then I'll answer all questions and explain how you feel - how the SAH has left you how the SAH runs your life at times and what you want..  Direct them to this site...

Don't know if that's of any help Jan that's what I wished I'd done years back...

hugs.xx
