Hi nyx I had a SAH in June, spent 6 weeks in hosptial and didnt remember anything much. I have two daughters who were very worried about me but the one piece of advice they were given was to be patient - easier said than done I know! I was coiled and had a shunt and am now making good progress. Take care and PM me if you wish. love Caroline

Hi Shiree I feel like this too, had SAH in June, think should I do this just in case! should I tell my daughters how much they mean to me, should I write it down somewhere for them to find? get emotional when thinking about it! When I go to the gym I worry because my blood pressure might go up! we were renovating our house but this has gone on hold until after Christmas, then another minute think what the point? might not be here! the responses here help me also - so thanks for posting!

Hi I had my SAH in June, my daughters have been brilliant, but when we went shopping the other week, it was like I had lost my 'authority' and 'control' over them! because I was replying on them I suppose. They are 27 and 25. They do care though and ring me often! Caroline

I was sent home with a book and told that I would see the consultant 2 months later which I did, I have researched all info via internet and of course BTG which has been a great help, I still feel tired and lack of energy but otherwise ok. Good to chat Caroline
