Short term memory is one of the casualties of SAH. Your husband's brain will be trying to re-wire itself. From the great replies above, you will gather that it is quite normal or usual to have these problems. Longer term memory is less affected. It's really great to hear that your recovery is improving; that you managed a trip on the tube, that your pain is subsiding and that you are starting your return to work with some small tasks - that's amazing! Do you feel like you have achieved a milestone?

E.g. this week I have definitely pushed myself more and it's been okay, for example I got the tube for the first time (haven't had the energy to do much outside the house until now, and have struggled a lot with loud environments so the tube has not been very tempting..!) but it went okay with some Loop earplugs that I bought. Touch became pictorial and the movie screen of images whenever I closed my eyes was great entertainment. Low moments included a cranial nerve palsy and double vision and dare I mention the horrendous constipation with the pain meds! Several scans and an angiogram later the staff were no nearer to finding a cause to my bleed. I was discharged home into the capable hands of my hubby.As i said before, it just takes time, little steps. Feel free to join in the daily banter in the Green Room. We are a friendly bunch. On a brighter note, I have in the last month spent some time at home, it was lovely taking some ME time, I got my garden landscaped with the help of my lovely niece and her partner, I felt so much better in myself after doing it, it nearly finished me off physically, I forgot how much heavy work was involved when revamping a garden lol, but it did wonders for my mental health.

My you have certainly been through it, bless you. Be very proud of how far you have come and what you have had to cope with.Your wife sounds an amazing lady.

months is still very early on in your recovery. Dont be so hard on yourself and dont forget you have had all this extra stress and worry on top of your brain trying to recover and function as normal. Anyone that has gone through what you have and are would be feeling a little lost, down, overwhelmed.

I was discharged Wednesday 1st June, I lost the whole of May, had Mother's Day and my birthday in hospital. The next day I had an appointment at the stroke clinic, we walked in and get told "you shouldn't be here yet, your brain hasn't had time to recover" coz they made the appointment when I was admitted, but didn't change it as I was in for so long. The doctors took me off my happy pills(could of caused the bleed) and withheld my RA injection(1 per fortnight) incase as well. I've had to up my dose of nerve meds (the doctor prescribed me some Pregabalin) so I am just adjusting to a slightly higher dose of that, it really has numbed my unmanageable nerve pain I was experiencing. The pain is still clearly there but it's like the meds have wrapped cotton wool round my nerves. Still napping a lot and unable to even go for a short walk along the road without total exhaustion, am getting very bored! Am trying to really hydrate more than I normally do too as everyone is suggesting on this forum. I can completely understand and empathise with this - it's like listening to myself. I gave up on the books for a little while and read magazines instead - especially those with puzzles in and did those too. Now, I'm reading on average 2 books a week.

[7] According to Empire magazine, in the climactic scene in which Neeson's character pens a letter to his wife, Carnahan urged Neeson to "channel his grief" over the death of his wife Natasha Richardson. [8] Carnahan disclosed, in a Q&A session following an early screening at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, he had an alternative ending he never intended to use showing Neeson battling the alpha wolf. It was supposed to be included in deleted cuts; [9] however, no extras were included on the Blu-ray. The tearful and weepy days I also had - I asked my GP to refer me to a counsellor as I was diagnosed with PTSD - it might be worth talking to your GP about this. I was doubtful at first, but my word, how that man helped me was amazing. Please look into it. Continue forward, and after a few twists and turns, you’ll see a monstrosity called a fumer appear. When this happens, turn around and run away. Pay attention to the sound, which is basically creepy ambient noise. You’re hiding at this point, and when the sounds return to normal, it’s safe to resume your journey.

My plan for the rest of this year is to take more time for myself, doing things that I want to do, the one big thing for me is learning to drive, I am determined to do that, I have been testing my memory with a Theory Test Book.

Just seen your post. Hope you are getting better each week. It's now 8 months since my SAH . I still have awful fatigue. Some days worse than others but it is still every day. I also get headaches some days but not every day like before.
