  1. Morning 🌅 all xxx

     

    Cannot believe 21 years have gone since the day of my bleed it feels like a lifetime ago but occasionally can feel like only yesterday xxx

     

    I still get bad days but they aren't as often. I have done alot in 21 years but the two things I am most proud of are my two boys 19 and 15 (16 in a few days) xxx

     

    Life does go on after it you get a choice to either live it or live in the past. I chose the past for quite a while after it caused me to live with fear and worry over it happening again which is horrible, then I had the fear of not seeing my children grow up (it will come back again no doubt when my first grandchild arrives) but I will get through it like I always have xxx

     

    In 2020 I found out I had 3 more aneurysms but it was also the year we found out my mom 👩 had cancer. I decided to live the rest of my life worry free from that point on as I had always hidden away to cry on bad days didn't want my children to remember me crying and frightened wanted them to have Happy memories of holidays days out me smiling 

     

    I haven't cried about my health since my mom died in April 2021and I am living my best life now working full-time, my eldest lives at a castle (he got a job there working with kids) only for a year until uni (he says I'm not so sure he'll want to leave) but whatever makes him happy as I know (we know) how suddenly life can be over so I just want my children to be happy xxx

     

    Enough about me thanks to everyone on btg for sharing their good and bad times as it all helped me through I will always be glad I found this group and hopefully I shall be here for a few more years to offer support and advice xxx

  2. Hi Nic welcome to btg sorry you have to be here xxx

     

    In regards to driving I found this a uk hospital put

    Can I drive?

    The regulations regarding driving are put in place by the DVLA. Current guidance is that you must not drive and inform the DVLA that you have had a NASAH. The DVLA will contact your consultant for information regarding your health condition.

     

    Gov.co.uk put

     

    Surrendering your licence

    You must surrender your licence to DVLA if any of the following are true:

    your doctor tells you to stop driving for 3 months or more

    your medical condition affects your ability to drive safely and lasts for 3 months or more

    you do not meet the required standards for driving because of your medical condition

    You can apply to get your licence back when you meet the medical standards for driving again.

     

    So I am not 100 percent sure but guidelines change all the time ask your Dr xxx

     

    It will get better but rest whenever needed and drink plenty of water xxx

  3. So sorry you and your husband are going through this but remember your husband is in the best place xxx

     

    My dad hasn't had any kind of brain injury, I don't think as some say looks like stroke or brain others not but either way he had very challenging behaviour in hospital. I won't repeat some things he was saying, it was evil. However he is now in a nursing home and he finally says things like this is a nice house isn't it, I think I shall stay here and he always wanted to leave. He only moved there last September and liked it since Christmas  xxx

     

    Hope your husband settles soon xx
