Thing that helped me was the Brain talking to me.. " A Letter From Your Brain - By Stephanie St. Claire ©1996"

It made sense to keep calm and it sort of explains what we've been through it is under "Inspiration" I think xxx (short term lol)

https://web.behindthegray.net/articles.html/inspiration/a-letter-from-your-brain-by-stephanie-st-claire-©1996-r167/

It made me calmer to be with people who had their B.I. and the whole site helped me as I found people who could laugh again, so once again to Mods and Karen and Family a Big Thank You  xxxx  We are not alone  xxxx

Sorry I missed you Julian,

Hope all is going well for you and family ~ Where would we be without them !! 

Seems like you are doing okay xx 

Regards to you and Yours 

Win xx 500/600 yards I can walk  now it was 60yards  when you came on here  but back still goes lol xxx Keep Well xxxx

Trust me Jean you'd need earplugs like Julian needed  lol 

Think I sound good,  then hubs says give it a rest Win ha ha  that is when I realise  the zzzz and buzzing I get stops me from hearing myself lol xxxx

Better go to Docs about hearing  xxxx  Be well Swishy Jean XXXX

Makes note never get around children and foil hooty tooties /blowouts :~  Julians advice. 

Bet the kids loved them but poor you..Still it could have been worse I could have sung a song lol. 

Good to hear from you Julian and apart from the blow outs all is well with you xx hasn't that year passed quickly !!!

Keep them coming and letting us know how life is treating you after what You/We went through xxxx

Good to hear from you again xxxx  Keep em coming  xxxxxx

I love this post and all what you all did, for without this site us SAH'ers  would be worse off but with it  GREAT !!!!!

I find singing happy songs and thinking how lucky I am to still be here really helps me !!

I cannot take sad stories or doom and gloomers, I don't mean us on here, I mean my Sister who loves to tell me her sad stories  arghhh  lol.

I find this site a great help, as we are told if you feel ill get in touch with your Doctor and hospital signs us off and we are in limbo.

So when we know we are not alone in this and people can help us smile again, this is when Behind the gray helps xxx 

Hi Jo g,

After I had my SAH I was waiting to die and became down in myself,  but my daughter found this site and told me about it I was so pleased to know I wasn't the only one  lol xx 

Slow but surely I realised there is a life after SAH, so I got my smile back !! 

Welcome and I cant tell you anything you do not already know as you had yours before mine.  Being able to talk about it helps and give vent when you are on a downer etc xx.   So Welcome to BTG and Good Luck to you in all you do xxxx 

So many of us who had bleeds xxxx It helps in itself xx

Well Done Karen and all your Family  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ahh Just seen what my Daughter put about my SAH my Sarah who called herself Bessie after our first Dog xxxx

I am so glad she found this site and put me on here, even if I was a pain as I loved to sing in or out of Key.

Without family I would have been lost and also this site has been such a great Help as I got my laughter back xxxx 

Thanks Lauren and Mum Karen xxxxx This site is a God send xxxxx

Colleen,

Congratulations and this site is a God send when we have our bleeds etc.  

Glad you are doing well  xxxx

Win xxxx

Hi Peter J,

We found this site and knowing we aren't alone in our fight to recover helps us, and it is good when worried to come on here and tell our worries. 

A trouble shared and so on as they say !!

I find remembering good times helps me and trying not to stress, when stressed I sing, my poor family.

It is a long haul so do not rush and always keep calm when possible xx  

Good luck and we are all in the same boat so it is good to share a nagging doubt xx

Regards

Winb143 

Good luck Shobs and may half term be a peaceful one  ha ha  as it never is  xx 

Glad all is well and you can now watch hubby get better slow but sure !! 

Now the work begins and you will know when he is better as you get back to normal life with each other xx

Wishing you all the Best for You, Sandeep and family and good you can even type a smiley xxxx

Be Well xxxxxx

Good luck and let tears fall as it is harder on our loved ones,  as we are out of it and do not worry but our loved ones do xx

Well done Shobs and Sandeep xx 

Keep bright and good luck both xxx 

Win xxxx

Hi Ann,

I had an SAH and I remember nothing until shunt was put in to stop hydrocephalus.

Welcome to BTG and hope talking about it can help in some way as a trouble shared and so on xx 

I was cooking a curry when I passed out and after that it was like being in cuckoo land  xx

You will get there but take it easy and others say drink water, it helps our brain xxx  

Good luck on your recovery and keep away from sad stories, a smile is much better xx 

Hi Lori,

No rush, get yourself better as it is a long haul, so better to be safe xx  

My Neuro Surgeon told me no stress so I sing when stressed, and life is full of stress !! and my dulcet tones ha xx

You will make it, we all get Downer Days and then happier Days,  Part and Parcel of a bleed xx 

Enjoy your baby and get well.

Be Happy it really helps xxxxxx  

Regards

Win xxxx 

Third time of trying to write post so here goes nothing xxx

Clara I have a Sister who is lovely but only tells me sad stuff and I cannot take doom and gloom in life xxxx 

I used to love a good chin wag but since my SAH I need to be happy which is nigh on impossible lol xx

So keep away from doomers and gloomers and remember we survived so a smile every now and then helps xxx 

Good Luck 

Win xxx Keep smiling  xxx

Sorry I am late Chris,

Well Done to you xxxx 

Singer meee ha ha  xxxx Joke there 

Had a lot on plate at Mo.  Keep the good work up xxxx 

Win xx  Love to you and Family, you are right we are survivors  xxxx

Hi Dotty,

I thought I lived in my old house and my short term memory is arghhh !! 

My house looked different all they had done was change the fireplace, 

Give him time but also keep an eye open for him, make sure he has no stress and sing him songs he liked xx Happy ones.

Always make sure( if he has a catheter in) that it doesn't get too full.  All that others have put xx  Water etc xx

Good luck to you and Dad xxxxx  Slow but sure is the procedure xx 

Good luck on results Snooty.  Best you got it done and hope all news is good news xx 

Now try a smile xxxx when feeling better ...Bigger smile than that lol xxxx

Congratulations Shobs

Or I'll copy Tina and say "Loka samastha sukino bhavanthu" 

Hope the Day goes Well xx 

Win xxxx

Hi Snooty,

Every time I get a pain in head I wonder if it is another SAH.

I think if you are worried get advice as stress is bad for us,

Good luck and let us know how things are going xx

All the Best 

Win xxxx

You Lucky people, Ha ha

I have creases everywhere nowdays 

We could always blame the people who pierced our ears Karen !! hmmm.   But right about the weight xxx lol 

Be well All and anymore with creases do inform us  all xxxx My eyesight has got so bad I wouldn't see it  lol xxx

Love to All xxxxxxxxxxxxx I'll let Snooty work out percentages  xxxx

Clara,

If ever worried see Doc as Stress is bad for us and better to be safe than sorry  xx

Better to be a nuisance as it is all new to us and we do not know what's going on in our head.  I had a bloodshot eye and went to hospital, and when my nose bleeds I think "Uh oh Win"  

Come running to BTG and tell them my problems and feel better  just for sharing it xxx  

Listen to Clare as it is not worth stressing about  xx 

Good luck 

Win xxx Oh and welcome to BTG xxx

My ear lobes have become longer and well creases at my age is a must..

My left ear was pierced twice as he messed up the first time, put it down to that lol.

Hmm interesting  xxx

Thanks Snooty and Karen xxx Better stop blaming the ear guy after all these years ha ha 

Hi Taka,

I was scared when I awoke and found out what happened to me, my Daughter found this site, while I was in hospital.

I must admit I was so glad to be alive but it does knock you back a bit.  Before on this site I doubted if I would live long,  but then I spoke to people who had SAH and they could smile and laugh.

In turn I started to say to myself "There is a life after SAH Win"  and the best thing I have done is come on here.  (I talk to myself ha )

BTG people know why I have the hump one day and need a rant as they have been there.  

If ever your worried come on here as a trouble shared is a trouble halved xx

Baby time for you, Let you get back to them xxx

Be well xxx Oh and as my surgeon said No Stress xx
