Tori - 5 weeks is still very early days?
paul99 replied to ToriC's topic in Subarachnoid Haemorrhage Discussion
Hi Tori I'm sorry I seemed to have missed a lot of your postings. please don't get upset about the peg its there to maintain mums weight and it will be removed when mum gains weight and maintains it as it is better in the tummy than the nose so mum will be a lot happier. My Lin was in the old n/staffs and yes they were brilliant to her although sometimes the nurses seem to be over stretched hence the food was still on the table. are they thinking of mum going into rehab elsewhere after they deem her fit enough? if you see Simon Shaw give him my regards a nice chap, wishing you and mum well take care and try and take time for yourself please xx Paul -
linda You will experience many changes and feelings over the next three to four months, it's part of the healing process. Drink plenty of water and listen to your body and sleep when your body tells you its had enough for now. Good luck xx

Hi Kris Just take one day at a time, keep hydrated with lots of water. It does help with the headaches. Good luck and safe motoring should you continue. Take care.

Hi Kris Your neurologist maybe right in respect of straining, you will have many a symptom which worries you as you are still in the very very early days of recovery. The headaches and other symptoms are normal as the brain has got some blood surrounding it and it will take up to three months for that blood to be reabsorbed back into the body. Try not to allow the anxiety to take over, the bleed happened and you survived. You are talking to people who have gone through exactly the same and its very unlikely to happen again. Many who have suffered a NSAH are now leading normal lives with very little after effects and some with very minor effects. Enjoy your new life Recovery can be years not weeks, but as you progress in your recovery the less you take notice of it. I would recommend that you drive when you feel better. You don't say if you are in the UK or not but if you are be wary because bleeds of the brain is a condition which is recorded to the DVLA by the surgeon by law, hence you might be breaking the law. We wouldn't like that, take one step at a time, please drink plenty of water and try to relax a lot more. Best wishes

Aandrea The figures you are quoting relate to the Glasgow coma scale which hospitals use on admission and it's a moment in time. It does not relate to how a person recovers, that is very much down to the patient. It does not have any relevance to recovery. All it relates to is whether your are awake and whether you are responsive and the answers you give at that time. Look forwards to the future and making improvements as each day progress's, good luck

Hi Kris Welcome to the site. Glad you have come out the other side, good luck on the angio on Thursday. There are many reasons for bleeds and non aneurysms bleeds which your seem to be related to. The drs will set you straight when you get a follow up appointment There are many myths and suggestions relating to sah. There is one related to the loo as well i.e. straining too much. There is no rhyme or reason one has a sah. It is though and has been proven its normally genetics I would start by taking baby steps first drink plenty of water and above all listen to your body. Don't over stretch doing things, sleep when your body wants to. Sex is not the main reason for sah its when the anni ruptures on its own cause normally because the walls have weakened and they let go. Evidence shows more happen when things seem to be going ok but there is a possibility during sex, but that will happen immediately not down the line I would suggest that you have a second chance of a new life one step at a time and one day at a time there will be the odd step backwards but many steps forwards good luck and hope to hear from you soon with updates

Putting the pieces back together 2years on
paul99 replied to Jan's topic in SAH/Stroke Anniversaries
Jan We love you for who you are now not what you were before. You have come through the hardest part of a brain bleed and have moved on with such courage and determination with John's support to a wonderful women who has such a lot to share and give. Be proud darling of everything you have done and will be doing in the future. Massive hugs and cuddles to you both xxxx Paul -
Hi Topsy First thing you can try and do is relax and enjoy your second chance of a good life due to you. I'm sorry that you have suffered twice but in all honesty its going to very unlikely that you will ever have another bleed. The first was due to a traumatic injury, the second, well that's anybody's guess. The surgeon would have scanned you before surgery as such and if anything was obvious they would have told you about it. So please try and settle, I know its hard but you have come through two episodes and the vp shunt will keep your brain in a healthy state for the future. Good luck to you.

hi Stanton Welcome to the site. Recovery is an on-going episode, you never stop recovering. The old saying of little and often is the answer you may very well recovering at a faster rate than you think. Its the little things that catch you when you suddenly think I didn't do that six months ago, so little and often is the answer I think, so keep up the good work and no stress .Enjoy your second chance of your new life good luck

hi Chris sorry to hear you are suffering branch block. this I believe can be sorted by a cardiologist at a hospital with drugs. I hope you seek treatment soon if they haven't already started to treat you. best wishes

hi jan im sorry you seem to be having a down day and im sorry that somebody has rained on your parade by being insensitive and unfeeling could I suggest that you take their comments with a pinch of salt. a lot of improvements are down to the person affected i.e. you. time is a great healer and with your determination I think that you will do more in the future and not be aware of the improvements you may make as the time goes on and then you can say I've proved you wrong. so bad day yes but you are doing whatever you can and that's what matters. have you though of asking for a second opinion re the eye? If you can see if your gp would refer you to the QE hospital in Birmingham I know it might be a trip but if you don't ask you don't get so to speak. just wishing you a happier day and lots of virtual hugs and cuddles xx paul
