having suffered a sub arachnoid haemorrhage 4 weeks ago, i was wondering if anyone else had suffered the same thing ? after reading up on the subject it appears i had every chance of being dead ! guess i owe my sister a big thank you, she found me in the garden ! anyway, anybody else had one ? and has it changed you in any way ?
 
Not had one but good luck on your recovery. Take it steady...

Kev.
 
I've just been reading about it myself, and it sounds dreadful. I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery.
 
Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery...and many more years of living life to the fullest!
 
I had one many years ago. Was out punting with friends when someone picked up the pole and swung it round. It only stopped when it hit the side of my head.

Spent 10 days in Hospital and another month convalescing at home.
 
Is this something to do with spiders? Sounds pretty awful.
 
Wishing you an uneventful recovery - take it easy!
 
Hope you have a speedy and successful recovery, sounds like a really nasty thing to have happened.

Mum had one last year and it ended up being the indirect cause of her death. Nasty things. Hope you've told the DVLA - you're not allowed to drive for 12 months after a SAH.

Mum's left her unable to eat or drink normally so she had the tube up her nose. Some days she could recognise us, others she couldn't. On the days she could, sometimes she could speak but often not. Horrible thing to see her go through - had she been able to, we know she would have ended her life as soon as possible since a debilitating stroke or similar was her worst nightmare. As a result of her continually pulling the feeding tube out (her record was 7 in 24 hours...) she kept getting pneumonia and as a result of the antibiotics used to treat that, she contracted Clostridium Difficile. Eventually, after a month or so of that, she was placed on the Liverpool Care Pathway and allowed to slip all too slowly away. If anyone let an animal suffer like that, they would be prosecuted but it's the only avenue left to doctors treating hopeless cases. Euthanasia should be an option (one to be taken by the future patient, not left to the family who may have alterior motives).

Knocker, all the very best for your recovery and the future.
 
All the best, knocker.

Nod: my deepest sympathies. My mother was in hospital for nearly six months in 2003/4 with C. Diff. I swear half the staff were trying to kill her off, including her GP ("there's a bug going round") and the hospital doc who sent her home from Grantham & Kesteven bunged up with kaolin.
 
Knocker I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery.
 
thanks everyone, i seem to be improving rapidly everyday, my memory is improving, so is my mobility, the main problem is tiredness, i can sleep all day, get up, have my tea, then fall asleep on the sofa till bed time :shrug: no matter how much sleep i get i can still fall asleep anytime anyplace anywhere ! it's like being a flaming martini girl :nuts:
