jess Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hi Debbie it can take quite a bit of time to recover from clippings it takes a few months for the bones to knit back together and things try not to worry it is very early days for you.

Vivien Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I was coiled not clipped, but I remember when I first came out of hospital trying to wipe the kitchen counter and not being able to do it! I phoned my GP who told me to go back to bed and rest! I think you just have to accept that it is very early in your recovery and not feel guilty about others looking after you Vivien x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hi Debbie I was coiled almost three years ago and sometimes till don't have the energy to do any housework after working all week. I remember I couldn't even bend down to empty the dishwasher because it hurt too much just to bend down - as for using the vacuum cleaner?? Forget it. The main thing is not to feel guilty because you can't do these things. If the houseowrk isn't done the world will not stop spinning I know - I tried Its a very hard thing to come to terms with and I used to fight it all the way - big mistake!!! Once I accepted my limitations and stopped trying to be the person I used to be, it all became a lot easier. Your health is far more important than a tidy house - I have a great sign on my kitchen door, it says "If a messy kitchen is a happy kitchen, then this ktchen is delerious!!" Something I now live by Take care of yourself hun - you're far more important. TTFN Love Sami xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasbo Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hi Debbie I had SAH Sept 06 then another clipping Oct 07 and, sadly, am still trying to come to terms with what happened. A lot of other stuff has happened in my life too, which hasn't helped, but we all take different lengths of time to recover. It's a real up and down road for us all; I go through phases of thinking I'm absolutely 100% and then topple right back. It's frustrating but at least we're here - we're the lucky ones so do remember that and don't worry or feel guilty at all. Life's too short.

Guest Shiree Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi Debbie I had SAH in March 08 (clipped). It took along time to be able to do just the easiest of tasks. I cried and cried with self pity and frustration for months, but very slowly I did start to feel a bit better. Don't compare yourself with how you used to be, but how much better you feel today than you did a week ago. It is a long road home..... I still get a really annoying clicking sound in my head quite often, but am told this is the bone knitting back together. I know you feel guilty, but please don't. I tried to push myself too soon and certainly didn't end up doing myself any favors!!!! Take one day at a time my friend "hugs" Shiree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninja Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Hi Debbie You are feeling as we all do. I was coiled in 2006, was diagnosed with prostate cancer a year later and now I am told I am diabetic and was told last year I would have to be re coiled but am still waiting. I attempt to get on with my life which is hard at times. Some days I am quite active like today I cleaned car, cut some bushes, mowed the lawn and still feel OK. Tomorrow I may just go up town with my wife, come home and then sleep all afternoon. I take each day as it comes . It is hard but try and feel positive you have got over the worst many don't, you will get better but you have suffered a severe traumatic event and it takes time. DO AS YOUR BODY TELLS YOU. Somebody is picking on me just booked a few days in Torquay, yesterday Met Office said it was going to be good now they've changed their minds and its going to b!!!!y rain !!! Bye All Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
