Louise Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 1st November, tonight anytime between 6-7pm it will be 21years since I had a Subarachnoid Brain Haemorrhage Wow! I wasn’t going to post anything did last year on 20th but wasn’t this year but for everyone this year has been hard, challenging, hard to navigate, and just downright ‘’ I thought because family don’t interact with me, and I’m used to being in the house a lot the staying in to protect would be a piece of cake – It wasn’t I have lost my independence now, it will return at some point but for now it is what it is. But compared to what others are going through – so what! Compared to when I started this journey its easier than then I guess challenging but easier. So, challenges there maybe but with the SAH came determination, if I can’t get around something or through it, or over it then I will give in but only after I’ve viewed all avenues… Curved lockdowns, circuit breakers, full lockdowns or whatever I do hope that when they open again people think before going daft and socializing because it will just happen again, this is a challenge lets all find the determination inside us… My heart felt thanks as ever to Ronnie who without his guidance and gentle pushing, I would not be able to be the person that I am today it taken a lot to get here, Ronnie you are indeed my ‘Rock’ Karen, as ever thank-you for this site, it saved me in so many, many ways. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Loobie Lou WOW!! Congratulations sweetheart. It's a privilege to know you and watch your journey as you have, literally, gone over, under or around to reach your goal. You've done amazingly well and have come so very far, especially with all the hurdles you have faced along the way. When I first joined BTG I was so very frightened and had not idea what had happened to me or what it meant. You joined shortly after and it was seeing your determination and bravery that spurred me on too. You're an amazing woman, with a heart of gold and we're lucky to have you xxx 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
