Karen Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 We are currently working on a new project for the homepage of the website, based on patients individual SAH experiences .... Keith, has worked hard on the format for the homepage and all we need now, is for some volunteers to participate. I'm really hoping that most members will be kind enough to answer the questions below and allow us to use this information on the website. We would also like to include a small portrait photo of each individual where possible, but this is not obligatory. We've discussed many of the subjects on the list before, but it would be great to collate this information and have it all in one place and more beneficial to anybody viewing the site for the first time. If you would like to help us, please either post below or you can contact us via e-mail behindthegray@gmail.com Please note that the information provided, may need to be edited by us, so don't worry too much about grammar etc. Look forward to hearing from you .....

AndyH Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hi karen, I will ask Heather to sit with me and complete the questions. It may take some time as her attention span is a wee bit short!!! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 Thanks Molly, Andy and Heather.... It's much appreciated and so far, there's been a good response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogbrush Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Thanks for the responses. Don't feel you have to respond to all of the topics, although the more the better. Even a short paragraph of your experiences on the things that have had the most impact would be very useful. I personally, have received great support from you all, particularly during the early weeks and months of my recovery, and this project, with the help of your experiences could be of great benifit to others. Hope to hear from you all soon. Regards Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can alway remember one of my teachers writing the words "waffle" across my homework .... not just once, but several times. Yes, I'm scarred.... How right he was though......

bogbrush Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi Just a note to keep you all updated on the project for the website. It's progressing very well and we've received a good response. I'm now at the stage where I'm starting to collate your experiences. If anyone else feels that they can help out and would like their experiences included in this, please could you send your submissions within the next couple of weeks so we can finalise the layout for the website. Contact details: behindthegray@gmail.com As I've said before, don't feel you have to respond to all of the topics or go into any great detail. Any personal experiences which could benefit others will be useful. It would also be helpful to include your age, date of SAH and a photo if you wish. If you don't want personal information to appear on the site, your privacy will be respected. Topics are repeated below: Symptoms[/*:m:2wucip9a] Hospital experiences[/*:m:2wucip9a] Headaches[/*:m:2wucip9a] Fatigue[/*:m:2wucip9a] Emotional[/*:m:2wucip9a] Anxiety & Depression[/*:m:2wucip9a] Memory & concentration (short term effects)[/*:m:2wucip9a] Memory & concentration (long term effects)[/*:m:2wucip9a] Communication (speech)[/*:m:2wucip9a] Noise[/*:m:2wucip9a] Return to work[/*:m:2wucip9a] Driving[/*:m:2wucip9a] Exercise[/*:m:2wucip9a] Sex & pregnancy[/*:m:2wucip9a] Flying[/*:m:2wucip9a] Smoking & alcohol[/*:m:2wucip9a] Physical disability[/*:m:2wucip9a] Vision[/*:m:2wucip9a] Support groups[/*:m:2wucip9a] Family & friends[/*:m:2wucip9a] Regards Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
