Wow ! I almost feel jealous that you have this "memory" Doe's that make sense? Thank you for sharing it with us all xx

Thank you Karen for putting it down in writing,What most of us feel... I cant stop thinking about anything but.... I can see by reading everyone else that we all need to pace ourselves..... I may learn how to do that one day !! Love to you all & Thanks

hi Lin-lin and everyone else, My SAH was 4 months ago to the date, i still have not accepted what has happened so reading everything from you guys helps in a weird kind of way !! And as for friends, i use the word VERY loosely now !! Take care everyone xx karen xx

Evening all, You know what it had not occured to me that travel insurance may cost me more now !! I'd like to go to Spain again this year but i guess to save time for if we do decide to go i will start getting quotes now !! So thank you for the heads up x Sally- enjoy Cyprus xx

Hi everyone, I dont wan't to sound as if im "going on" but for the past week it feels like the back of my head is in a vice !! Constant preasure to the back of it ! I have only had a few days WITHOUT headaches since my SAH too and its getting me down ;-( Admittingly ignoring or fighting my tireness in the day will not help i'm sure !!! I'm not enjoying to heat either, but my girls love playing in the garden etc so whats a girl to do ! I braved it it and rang Headway on Thursday afternoon asking for a support group in my area as i feel as i have not accepted what has happened to me.(Admins) he was intersted in when i told him the only place i have recieved support was on HERE, he said he was going to look this site up) I'm getting to the point that i feel like screaming now as i have not cried since it happened and don't think thats normal !? Any-how sorry peeps, i have an hour before i do the school pick up and have friend coming down as we walk together xx Enjoy the rest of your day xx

Good morning Laura, I too are 31 and it scares me the thought in writing a will, always has but i guess the SAH has taught me you never know whats around the corner, and i have 3 litte ladies to think about too, Im not yeat a member of headway but will look into it. Thank you xx

Hi Zoe, hello, and my eldest daughter is also 8. When i was in hopital she wouldnt cuddle me which made me feel rejected as my other two cuddles me in the bed, Its only now when we have sat down together or grabbed 5 mins time out that i speak to her about it, She told me it was because there was too many germs in there !! Followed by last night when i was washing her hair she said " Mum, you do know that daddy would of been lost if without you you know " So they are act and responed very differently, Half of us dont inderstand ourselves what happened when we had our SAH, so im pretty sure its hard on children too.. And of course adults. Perhaps asking her if she would like to have a friend back ffrom school for tea oneday or something ? i hope you are getting support too xx

Hi Angela, Welcome xx I hope you asked why the second bleed was not picked up on the scan ? Glad your doing "ok" I have finally posted on here, i too only recently started posting on here and it feels as if i have made lots of new friends over night and thankfully people who feel the same and know what we may be feeling etc etc, Take care xx Karen

hello and welcome from one new person to another, and wow you only had your SAH last month, Hope your "ok" and like me find comfort within this group xx Karen x

Hi Karen & Sarah .. and Thank you, My girls are aged 8, 5 (6in July i have to add or i will get in trouble) !! and My youngest is 2, They all have been through so much as my husband had a Heart attack in 2005 and through complications in surgery he had his leg amputated !! (hospital have since admitted that they were at fault) He then at that the time spent 7 weeks in the hospital, we had to move etc etc. I "never" got ill and the only time i was in Hospital was to have my girls.. So were all so shocked that i was "ill" i will get there xx

Hi and just a quick intro as i tried this once before and it took me ages and because it took ages i lost it all cause the page needing refreshing !! Hi im Karen i am 31 and i have 3 beautifull daughters and a husband I had my SAH on the 8th of March this year, and had it coiled on the 10 th but had severe vasospasm's during op to the point where my husband got told to expect the worse ! I spent 3 weeks in ITC/HDU and then 3 days on normal ward and then got discharged (bang on half term may i add ) !! I still have headaches and i quickly snap into bad moods !! Im sure a lot of it is not understanding what happened ! Im told by friends and my family but i remember nothing ! My normal GP has told me that the type of aneurysm i had i was born with ? And that i have been a "ticking time bomb" my words not his ! Now i cant sleep very well and have thousand thoughts going through my head !! All the what if's.... I know im very lucky to still be alive and i thank the hospital but does it make sense to say i dont understand ? It's lovely to read so much possitve writing from you all, thank you xx
