Scoobs

As far as I know they are leaving it as is. I've never been told anythin bout it I've just had my six month scan so I guess I'll b told more when I go see specialist. But my dent looks different thru the day too. All I know is I'm here an thats all that matters

Think I've had a bone flap. I've got a nice dent on my forehead Bout 2 inches long

I normally get to sleep about 1in a mornin grrr I went to bed at 10.30 the other night I remembered seein 3.30 before I nodded off

Well I think after what we have gone thru we have the right to have off days and yes we are alive I just wish family an friends could understand we are not the same I guess this is where this site helps us we are all here for each other I hope I can say (with hand in heart ) ive got friends even if most of ya try to get first post. I feel guilty after reading How your SAH have left some of you, it's just my short term memory the foul taste in my mouth 24/7 the dizziness when I stand up an bein safe when in the house or walkin ( left iron on for 6 hours an walkin out into the rd when traffic comin ) Let's try keep positive but if u need to scream or cry just do it we will always understand each other an be there for each other

Just an update off for my brain scan on sat 9th June

I'm sure we've all been thru it it's now tryin to get the benefits that's gettin the girlfriend down an me seein her cryin starts me off oh happy days. Think I'll go to bed with a coat hanger in my mouth so I'll wake up with a smile on my face in the morning

Hi all Well I sugested to the girlfriend for her to kick me out then I'd be homeless I think I'd get some help then councils don't realise we need help just till we get back on my feet an back to work

When I was told I'd got my aneurysm I lost my licence for a yr and couldn't work luckily I'd got some savings 12 grand to be exact no 1 told me about any benefits but when my aneurysm burst in jan with only 3 grand left still no benefits so 4 months on I'm skint still tryin to sort things out girlfriend can't sleep at night worrying sorry this country's gone to the dogs looks after people that come here to live but if u was born here u get nothin rant over and breathe

Thanks again for the warm welcome I did start to read A letter from your brain but emotions kicked in an the water works started. Ill try to message every day an fill people in on how things are goin I didn't tell u that I was rushed into hospital last Tuesday with pains in my chest the girlfriend wanted some t shirts for work an why we was in there I got pains in my chest I did joke an told her I was havin a heart attack why she's lookin at t shirts came out of the shop came home had a coffee an checked on nhs direct with my symptoms I was shocked as the screen on my iPhone went red an said call 999 oh how we laughed the paramedic parked up outside an didn't come to the door I said as a joke he's waitin for the ambulance as it pulled up. 8 ecg's later an a ride with the blues an twos going they releasted me said it must of been muscular

thanx for the nice welcome looks like im gonna have to change my lifestyle too im a hgv driver but dvla took both my licences off me car licence for 6 months from march 14th for some strange reason . an i cant get my hgv back till im down to 2%or less chance of fits. to be honest im not sure i want to drive a 40 ton truck knowin that this could happen again even though docs say its fixed... guess my confidence is low at the min im smiling honest

Hi im paul I had my SAH jan 2 2012 Id gone to bed early hours trying to make the xmas holiday last as long as i could, kissed the girlfriend good night 15 mins later i was rolling on the floor on the landing in pain felt like a rugby team was kicking my head in, i just wanted to rip my head off my shoulders girlfriend called 999 for a ambulance they took details then called back 5 mins later checking that i needed a ambulance the lady on the line said to my girlfriend can u drive him to hospital my girlfriend panick'd an just said yes so now she had to try dress me dress herself an get me down stairs once at the door she remembered it was my car on the drive at the back she never driven it . while at the door i felt sick so she passed me a little bucket finally in the car all windows froze up so i tryed to help by putting heaters on an demisted the car , off we set girlfriend panicking an checking on me as im being sick by now ( to this day i dont know how she coped with the stress) She drove the 4 miles to kings mill at Mansfield . We parked up in the car park just outside casualty i got out an staggered to casualty passing 2 ambulances parked up with four staff inside watching me i walked straight into the hospital where the ambulance drop patients off a nurse turned around an asked me if i was ok i just said its my brain she got me a stretcher the last thing i remember was my girlfriend sitting by me an holding my hand then it all went black. im now 4 months on emotions shot an a taste in my mouth that just over powers anything i eat but i'm luckier then most they the only things that have gone . if i'm honest i feel like i've cheated death ( sorry im fighting the tears back as im typing ) i woke up later in Nottingham QMC id had a drain in my head an my aneurysm had been coiled
