Hi,
Found your post very helpful- my mum and dad do not have the internet so cannot come on here, I find it very useful- when first came on here found very upsetting as didn't want to accept my mum was ill. Alot of people think she has been ill and is now better and do not realise all the repurcussions.
My mum had vasospasm and we actually only found out in her follow up app at Walton Neuro last month. Alot of frustrations for all of us.
My mum very agrophobic and I do agree very like a grieving process she has good days and then meets someone who does not know what has happened and is almost like she has to go through it all again
Me and my dad are very positive but we all just have to adapt the biggest thing is for my mum losing her independance- a big thing we all take for granted, and no one can fully understand how she is feeling not even me her daughter, i get so annoyed as just want my mum back but feel selfish as I not had the one who has had my life taken away.
Am positive things will improve and just this morning she has got out of the bath on her own- little things now are a major step forward
A8)m going home this wk and will broach the subject of counselling I think it will help but think she is a bit too proud at moment. I love this forum as has helped me immensly... am using to help them they can't do all alone and I think they need to realise this has affected other peoples lives too.
thanks for all your kind messages- know I have not had SAH but it affects all of us xx8) marlyn xx
