Guest richards Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Afternoon everyone..I suffered an SAH back in 2001, didn't know this website exsisted. I was treated at Hull Royal Infirmary twice for my SAH. I am know the proud owner of 48 platinum coils!! after my right opthalmic artery decided to pop. For all the people who have recently fallen ill its a long haul, even after 7 years I still have good and bad days. I work part time still, 24 hours a week, and couldn't even think of returning full time. However my employers now want me to return back to my old job which is much more stressfull than my current role so I may have to leave my job.. seems like you only get support from certain areas when its beneficial to them..

Guest ElaineW Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Hello and welcome - my mum's was six months ago so early days for her though she does try running before she can walk sometimes and gets very upset if she goes back. Everyone has a story to tell here which makes many peoples days more bearable. Elaine Quote
Tina Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Hi Richard A very warm welcome to BTG....look forward to hearing from you again soon. Take care Love Tina xx Quote
Karen Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Hi Richard and welcome! This website hasn't been running for that long really ..... 2006 or could have been late 2005....I think, but my memory lets me down....I had my SAH in July 2005. There wasn't a lot on offer as of support and don't think that there is now or nothing specific to SAH. It's always good to hear from others that have been through the same and how they've coped and adapted to their life. Hope that we will hear more from you.....xx Quote
Guest Beth1957 Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Hi Richie & welcome Thinking about your job; can your employers do that? Can you get them to let you stay as you are under disability legislation or the like? Do you have a union rep you can talk to? It just doesn't seem fair... Quote

Guest carol Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Just want to say hi---looking forward to hearing more about you and your recovery Carol---Flintshire Quote
Sasbo Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Hi Richard Welcome to the gang. Glad you found the site and looking forward to chatting in the future. I've been clipped, not coiled, and have 2 clips. Don't know too much about coils but 48 sounds VERY impressive!! Sarah xx Quote
Guest Nyx Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Hi Richard Welcome, I'm still a NooB myself! Its always good to hear from people who have had SAH and gone on to make such a good recovery. My mum's was less than a month ago and things are still very uncertain, but I'm definately going to have to find out how many coils she had because 48 sounds like some kind of record! Maybe there should be a prize... All the best Jo Quote
