had brain surgery last September, 2010, so it's been a year, but where I had the surgery my left side, entry was from my temple down to below my ear. My head still feels very tight round that area and reacts when I am tired, move wrongly, allsorts, basically telling me it is there. I want to fly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Make sure you are on a plane in case arms ache..joking !!!!!! Seriously though.....Been told by my surgeon if you feel okay then do it ......I am terrified in traffic.now and hate loud noises apart from my singing ...lol Go and book holiday up you deserve it xxxx All the best WinB143 xx

Fat I have .......so much of it, joke but true...tiredness I get when bored and not going shopping, ,,,,mind I did sleep 4 months in 1 year after SAH........Too much partying with my deceased family ..lol....I really had a good sing song when I was out of it !! Now when I am down I sing...drives my family crazy but keeps me happy....plus my sisters used to sing with me when I was out of it.....My Husband used to go to lunch when we started singng, I remember none of it but a nurse said I sang to her ??? My Dad only taught me rude songs when young !! poor other patients ! When you get tired try singing or think happy thoughts .....just keep smiling and be positive you will suceed trust me I have been there and got dents in the head to prove it Keep well xx A song to keep you awake ~ Oh Dannyboy the pipes the pipes are calling, From Glen to glen and down the mountainside zzzzzz lol Take care to all of you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regards WnB143 xx

Keep yourself and husband well and ignore any nasty comments..... Always smile and sing when possible.....singing does help sometimes (tone deaf Win here singing and driving hubby potty lol) Hope all goes well for you both and remember SMILE XX Love WinB143 xx

Hi Jelly I saw Surgeon this year and he said he would keep an open door ie if I feel rough or ill or worried about brainbox not working correctly. I am to go and see Doctor and he will make appointment with Surgeon straight away....So I am quite happy with this.....I have to have another MRI in 2 years.....arghhhhhh my fat botty doesnt fit in the thing they put me on for MRI lol It is understandable you are worried but you have your Doctor and if he thought anything was wrong he will contact Hospital as he has your history ......I think you'll be alright....in fact I am sure you will be. Cheer up and keep getting better as they say "Onwards and Upwards"..ok off to start my diet again !! All the Best WinB143 xx
