Hi Laura

Thank you for replying to to me it is really good to hear from you, cant believe you went back to work so quickly,sorry you are still struggling, it just shows that you cant rush things as much as you would like to!

I cannot work yet, have to wear sunglasses to even look at computer and take ages to type and makes my head thump. My husband Mike found this web site and it just helps knowing that other people know what you are going through and that it does get better.

Take care

Hi my name is Tina I am now at home recovering from a SAH I suffered in Dec 07. I had my aneurysm clipped successfully, but suffered servere nerve damage to the right side of my face effecting my right eye and could not smile.

I am really please to say that four months later I can now smile , and my eye has fully opened, my hair is growing back. Beginning to look like me again.

At the moment I am feeling quite low & frustrated as I have double vision, lack of balance and severe headaches and I get very tired. I have been told that I have to be patient as this can take at least a year to repair.

After seven hours of life saving surgery, I know I am extremely lucky to be here, but just recently from being very positive and upbeat I have been feeling very low,tearful and anxious.

It will be good to talk to anyone who has or does feel the same as me.
