Welcome Bill,

After my SAH in 2009 and my shunt in 2010....I remember only passing out in 2009 then living with my parents and my brother

who sang to me...both my parents and Brother have been dead for over 10 years approx...but we had a good sing song like in the olden days....apart from my Mum not talking to me she kept pointing to my daughter and hubby....Then after the shunt I was told what had

happened to me and slowly I am recovering..Slow and 1 day at a time....

The hospital wanted me in a home .. .But thanks to my daughter,hubby and family They never gave up on me

You are doing well Bill..so keep smiling and singing.....and do not let anything get to you...We are Alive ..yeahhhhh smile

Love

Can't you ask your surgeon about it?........I have not had it but it must hurt....

Hope you feel better soon

All I can say about it is when I left hospital after Coiling they gave me MRI ..then after shunt I had MRI ...and I saw Surgeon this year and he said to make appointment for another MRI but he didn't think I'd really need it..but to put my mind at ease.....still not had results yet

Waiting is horrid.......Becoming paranoid lol

Cheer up you will be ok

Regards

If I hadn't got the words thingy and whatsitsname in my vocabulary I'd be stuck......I cannot remember the supermarket

Sainsbury's......My family say to me "go on you will get it".....I call it the orange shop as it has orange signs and trollies..

But while I can remember my daughter and hubby and all my family who cares lol

Keep smiling all

Love

When I went to Hydro my Hydroman got me balancing on one leg.....I thought I was good but toppled into him..and I am

Love to All of You

Michelle,

I had mine a few weeks back...kept eyes shut and it was over so quickly...I never had time to fall

asleep . . plus the noise was only a clonking sound.... and the men chatting.......

They say us women can talk..lol

Honestly it will be okay trust me as I am afraid of everything..and the MRI was a Glen Hoddle = Doddle

The worst thing was the queue in the cafe after ...Do not let it worry you just relax and try not to

worry , or snore lol

Love

WinB143 xx

Sending happy vibes your way Kaz ....and good luck with your sons exam results

Keep smiling and singing

Hi Fi,

I know how shattered my hubby and daughter got visiting me for over 4 months and I wasn't

talking, moving and had was ill on top of the SAH. ie Ventriculitus..Sepsis

I sometimes get down and think why me!...then I think... I'm Special....if I never thought this

I would be on a downer and that isn't fair to my Family...So we have to try and be positive for the

ones we Love....

I swim ...and I am learning to walk again..for my Family..and Myself ...oh and the dogs !!!

It is easier to say Smile....but we have to smile or else we bring those around us down.

Ok Win stop getting serious cheer up , cya xxxx..off to give my hubby a hug

Keep well

Hi,

I had SAH, Ventriculitus, Sepsis and my life has changed, I have changed but I am so happy

to be alive, each day is a bonus for me...try singing, smiling and making others happy

if possible......look towards the future and SMILE....try not to dwell on past to much ...

Good luck

Winb143 x smile come on !!!!

When I was out of it after SAH ...my daughter always straightened my neck up....

I would sit lop sided...bet Iooked great lol..Guess it is a part of the SAH ???

I sit straighter now, but I have to remind myself to straighten up.....

"Head up Shoulders back Win",,I say that everytime I walk/limp but still walk

wonky if tired but every day is getting better

Wish you all well..and STRAIGHEN YOUR BACKS UP !!!!!

Love

WinB143

Amazing that Joe Biden is able to be VP of the United States. Now that's inspiration!! It shows once again how different we all are and how recovery is individual to us even though we all experience similar symptoms. Sandi K.

Well if Joe can do it Sandi..shall we give it a go ?....noooo better not lol

Keep Well all

Hi Vivien.

Beautiful photograph(s), very well lit and so full of expression.

A picture tells a thousand words and the self portrait captures much of what is said on this site.

Well done!

Bill B x

I agree with Bill and others....Well Done Viv....want any of my wrinkles lol ???????

Hi all,

Jan it sounds like you have a great Sister..haven't been to my Dads grave for 3 years but saw him when I was out of it ...or so I think....caught a glimpse of his nose under a black netting he had on his head..He looked at me and said "Shhhhhhhhhhhh ya muvver will kill me if I speak to you"

It was so real and my brother who died sang for me.....My Mum kept telling them not to talk to me...

I assume she was keeping me on this side.....don't really know...all I know is that we had a good party...lol

Has anyone else had dreams or whatever they want to call it about dead family/friends while out of it?

Regards

WinB 143 xx

Win looks at Sandi and thinks Why didn't I say that...That Sandi is so clever Lol

WinB143 xx
