Thanks for all your support. This is an amazing place to get information and to read other peoples experiences with SAH. Have one question though, does anyone have problems with memory. I find that I am getting very forgetful and going to do or get something and then forgetting it all. Some might be laughed off as silly little things but others might not be. My hubby mentioned aswell that sometimes I talk loud so wondering if it's a problem with my hearing. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks for putting up that link, posted to Facebook so friends and family can have a read to see I'm not going nuts..

I had my SAH on July 23th 2011 and never saw it coming. I had just arrived into work after a 20 minute drive from home when felt a sharp pain to the back of my head and the next thing I knew I was waking up on the floor. Thank God my boss was there as he kept shouting at me to stay awake and I remember being violently sick and him asking me do I have epilepsy cause I had a seizure. Everything was a blur as I was in and out of a coma and remember very little until in recovery after the surgery. The ambulance took 45 mins to get to me and was taken to local hospital, had CT scan and it confirmed I had a bleed so was transferred to a bigger hospital for an angiogram. Had craniotomy and the bleed was clipped, it was at the front right had side so have a 7 inch scar just at my hair line down to my ear. This hit me like a tonne of bricks, still can't believe it actually happened. (dont mean to sound selfish) My hubby has been my rock through all this and my two beautiful children. When I met with my neurosurgeon a month after surgery he took me through the surgery which I really didn't need to hear and after telling him some of the problems I was having post surgery that I was suffering from chemical meningitis as blood mixed with the spinal fluid. So have problems with bright lights, loud noises and still get headaches daily. Can't drive or work for a year and am on anti seizure meds for a year aswell which are a pain as have already been changed as having really bad mood swings from the keppra so now on epilum. So thanks for this forum, a place to get info, chat and especially vent. Xxxx
