I always had a good memory before SAH... not so much now....but I am so glad to be here.....ok forgot the Rolling Stones name the other day...but remembered the drummer Charlie Watts remembered Mick Jagger and Keith Richards but couldn't remember Brian Jones who died...My husband went "Oh you cant remember the name of the group"...lol...Never liked them that much shhh my dont let my hubby know....

I Prefer Chas n Dave anyway, I have no taste in music ..So cheer up Louise or I'll sing to you !!! lol

It doesn't matter if we forget things , birthdays or names etc. . People who matter to us will understand . We are soooooooo Special as we are still alive and so remember to keep smiling...and be happy....when I had shunt fitted I remember saying "My name is Win, My Hubby is Al..My daughter is Sa and said my parents names and so on...so Rolling yobo's....I couldnt remember big deal !!! walks away head held high..singing a Chas and Dave song outta key as usual (skirt tucked in knickers and thinking I look the bees knees )....Happy Sunday and happy week to come !!!

I feel bad about my daughter becoming my carer...but I am`so glad she is my carer.....she works

24/7 and I feel sorry for her...she says she doesn't mind but I still feel for her...

I am glad I have her as my daughter but the guilt is still there...But to be honest I'd rather have my daughter than a stranger looking after me....I try not to put on her too much....but it doesn't feel correct..after all I am HER mum and supposed to look after her... .... thank goodness she is my daughter 1st...and my carer 2nd. Thanks for post ..made me want to tell her how good she is to me

Sarah ..I love you so xxxxxxxxxx

Love

WinB143

I agree with Mace ...you have really done well keep it up

You have all beaten SAH, We are alive to talk about our ups and downs...That's a positive

thing and another is "We Are Here."....Shouting it

I haven't been depressed yet......!!! ....I feel so lucky to be alive and what makes me feel happier is to know my family loves me ...I get on their nerves but if anyone shouts or moans at me I just blubber...and I say a few choice words !!!!.

I think it has been more traumatic for my family than me...My sister said to my hubby how ill he was looking when I was out of it...tears welled up in his eyes..that got me blubbering and my sister started also ..lol

Keep Smiling all of You and try to keep your chins up and I'll keep my 3 chins up lol...Now Winter cheer up and listen to Sandi x

If you are in doubt see Doc.....at least it will put your mind at rest......

Good Luck Manus hope your head feels better

and you also Skippy take care !!

Regards

WinB,,,,,you haven't been listening to my singing !!!!!!...that will give you headache

Hi Theresa,

It is easy for me to say.......keep calm and do what ever makes you happy !!! we are entitled to do the

things that make us happy after what we have been through.....ask the Docs if you can see other Specialist ...dont give up NEVER EVER and keep smiling... when I had mine I put my family thru hell...was not my fault but I feel bad about it....Try singing It.and it drives my family mad ..but helps with my memory .....Tone deaf singer lol

Don't give up Theresa .....and remember do things that make you happy...also get to sleep lol xx

Take care

Regards

Hi Melissa

I have had epilepsy since I was 14 and I had SAH in 2009...then in 2010 I had shunt fitted.

For me it was good as I was not with it as I had Hydrocephullus...(poo I cannot spell that word !!!!)

Now I can go shopping etc... eat chocs ..No Docs put me on diet darn it !!!!

Seriously though..Do whats right for you, as I can only speak for myself ....You will be fine so try not to worry

easily said than done !!!!!! Smile and sing it helps xxxxxx

Hi Di,

The following link may help re: bloods - http://www.behindthegray.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?5643-Blood-donors-Blood-donation-post-SAH

There are other posts on here re: massage if you do a quick search. A massage will increase the blood flow, hence putting more pressure on arteries, as the blood is pumping around a lot faster than normal ... A decent or should I say registered masseur should ask you if you have any health implications such as having a SAH....if they don't then I wouldn't go to them. xx[/quote

Karen just had to say when I see your posts you are always a help to others...so on behalf of us all TQ

Oops forgot to mention Bogbrush another helpful person so Tq oh and so sensible also !!!!!

Regards and many thanks

Life is for living so let us be happy and do not let us get down ...after all we are still here....

hi everyone, just a bit of advice please if anyone can help. i lost my dad a year ago this month to a subarachnoid haemorrhage and since he died my sister moved in with me and i am now in dads bedroom as my sister is in mine and for some reason i cant sleep on a night without having to leave my lamp or tv on. and i always wake up between 3 and 4am and look around the room. its always on my mind that im gonna wake up during the night and see him sat on the bottom of my bed or something and even tho hes my dad and wouldnt hurt me im still scared of the thought of it. i never used to believe in that stuff until i heard stories that people have told me. im just wondering if these thoughts are ever gonna go away or am i never gonna get a good nights sleep again i know its still early days and i miss him more than anything but i just need to get the thoughts out my head x

When I lost my Mum it was like losing my best pal,,,,,I just feel that every day she is looking after me

and looking out for me....when I had my SAH I saw my parents.or was I imagining it!!!!anyway I am glad I saw them again.

Your Dad Loved you..and time will heal your hurt......easier said than done but trust me, think of the happy times you had with Dad and keep smiling your Dad doesn't want you sad...remember he loves you

ALWAYS !!!!!

Regards

WinB

I always thought morbid meant miserable or looking on the dark side of life......!!!!

All I know is I had anni/ SAH.....and if I hadn't caught so many germs in hospital I would have had

shunt fitted earlier..... and been more like my old self.

Well guess it gave my hubby a break (Joke)

I feel well in myself apart from getting fat so I start diet and will smile everytime I pass the chocs sob sob

Anyone who has had anni keep smiling and sing BE HAPPY ! !

Being happy and smiling will keep us winners no matter what life throws our way so after 3

I want to see you all smile...a 1...a 2....a 3

SMILE !!!!!

regards

WinB

I was out of it so long I cannot remember if I had headaches ... thank goodness !!!!

I get the odd pain near drill holes in head, but touch wood and whistle... phew phew (me whistling)

I take a paracetmol and all is well.....singing helps cheer me up as my singing is so awful it makes

me laugh....laughter is a good medicine Good luck to all of us

Regards

WinB

I started smoking when I was 19...drank coffee albeit decaf.....decaf tea also in the last 10 years guess I better blame it on the above or a lost relative...lol

Luck of the draw I guess....but remember we are Soooo Special so live love and laugh ...

I was cooking tea for my family when I had SAH....does the DM have anything on cooking causing

SAH?????

Read the piece and thought, if I go by all that they mentioned. Then I may as well give up living my life. Heck no way. Maybe they should have a little read on this site.

I had shunt fitted late August and Sept 2010 and a week later I was talking with my hubby and daughter...My hubby says he wants shunt op reversed as I don't stop talking...Cheek!!!! but true....
