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 Winb143 x

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!!

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

So once again many thanks Regards WinB143 xx

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. .

Karen I have replied 3 times and every time I get to end of reply my message gets lost ... What am I like!! as Catherine Tate would say... I agree with everything you say...once more thank you all on BTG for helping my Sarah alias Bessie Just feel sorry for Sarah and all CARERS (in capitals)...signing off before this goes astray All the Best WinB143 xx

Hi Kelly, Keep happy and all will be well...keep smiling and singing ..Most of all Shopping with good pals or Family Regards WinB143

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 Regards Winb143

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 Regards WinB xx
