Skippy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hey Karen That's fantastic news. I can't imagine you've upset anyone here - we do very much love to hear good news about recovery and it gives others, not at that stage yet, lots of hope.

Guest ElaineW Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 What lovely news. Your story is deja vu with that of my mum who was also saying and imagining all sorts of things. She was insistent many a time that a friend (who is a District Nurse) had visited and served her tea and she would not have it that she was wrong so we gave up arguing with her. I was also in a court case - all nonsense. I can comprehend with the talking bit especially and it must be lovely for the nurses to hear it too after such a long time. I did not want to leave my mum the first day that she was able to speak. I hope she is home with you soon and you can tell her about her amazing recovery.

karen lloyd Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 HI everyone, just a quick update, well today we got the news that we were looking for ...Mum has been shortlisted to go to rehab........woo hooo.....we were a bit worried that they were not going to recommend this as we were told three weeks ago that it really looked like a nursing home for her...but she has just come on leaps and bounds. the confusion, memory and halucinations have come to a point where they really think that she will be able to come home. What a long rocky road we have travelled...reading all the stories,advice etc on here has really kept our hopes alive and gotten both my sister and myself through a lot of the traumas that we have had. so even people who lurk in the background a lot find this site a heap of support...thanks to everyone...YES MIRACLES DO HAPPEN..... best wishes to all karen lloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen lloyd Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hi Everyone, thought I'd just give a quick update. Mum came home from hospital on the 20th of December, just in time for Chrissy. My sister and I have been sharing her so that she is with us all of the time. She has come through this amazingly well. All of the hallucinations have disappeared and she is very mobile no paralysis etc. Sometimes she is a bit disorientated but she is getting better everyday. The biggest difference in her is her outgoingness(not really a word) but she is just so much more out going that she used to be.....Very strongly sexually orientated. which is just not our old mum. But hey we can live with that, just have to stop her chasing all the little old men when we take her out. All in all we are just beside ourselves that we have our mum back....Not quite the one we knew, but we love her more than ever. Her biggest problem is feeling cold all the time.. don't know if this is due to the warfarin that she is on but on 35 degree days when everyone is boiling hot she is freezing. Through all the ups and downs and complication she just never gave up....neither did we. My love to all, hopefully mums story can help those going through similar times.

Louise Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi Karen was really lovely to read your update on your Mum, great news. My Auntie is on warfarin and she suffers terribly from the cold even in the summer she's freezing to the touch...... take care Louise.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen lloyd Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi Everyone, Wow doesn't time fly past so quickly...Just been back on the forums after quite a while I'm afraid trying to catch up on everyones post. Well next month it will be 2 years since mum had her sah. If you met my mother today you would never know that she was given a 10% chance of ever leaving the hospital let alone not making it through it at all. Not that I would say it is a complete recovery but it would have to be about 99% and that 1% is not that there is anything wrong just that she has a slightly different personality than the pre sah mum.....more outgoing and social.. So I'm gonna have a bit of a read around on here and try to do some more catching up... Love to all. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi Karen Time sure does fly.....but what a wonderful recovery your Mum has made I think the more outgoing social side is because it makes you look at life quite differently than before Take care Karen...its great to hear from you...love Tina xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hi there WOW WOW and WOW again - brilliant that your mum has made such a wonderful recovery. Thanks for letting us all know - it'll certainly inspire those who feel low at the moment and prove that recovery is very much an individual thing. Take care and please pass my best wishes to your mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi Karen.. I'm so glad you posted again, it's really helped me reading about you're mum's wonderful recovery My mum suffered a severe SAH just over 3 weeks ago and after coiling is now recovering. At the moment she's not responding or moving much at all and it's a very scary time but reading about your mum has just lifted my spirits Wishing you and your family all the best.
