Anyway, I have gone on longer than I intended to, so I will say, Thanks everyone for always being there for me, I would be lost without you in my life. Advice of a strictly medical nature should only be given by a medical professional. Whilst it is acceptable to mention any drugs that you take, or your treatment and your experiences of them, they should not be recommended to other users; this also includes herbal remedies, as many have side effects and can interact with prescribed medicines. Don't watch over your husband preparing meals, if people ask if you're OK then answer them truthfully - its the only way they'll begin to understand what you're going through. Funny that you should mention Loop ear plugs.. I had them brought to me when I was in hospital and they have been with me ever since. I initially used them when I started going out and about, but I now seem to be OK without them and have them in my bag 'just in case.' I found that at first when in cafes/ restaurants it was quite difficult to follow a conversation with whoever I was with and my brain felt really quite bamboozled, but in general my sensitivity to noise seems to improving over time. Hopefully this will also be the same for you.

Headaches are very common following a subarachnoid haemorrhage. They are not usually so severe as the headache experienced during the event itself, but they can persist for some months as the blood around the brain is re-absorbed. I came out and was able to be home for Christmas, but the pain has just been unmanageable since returning home. I was discharged with paracetamol, ibuprofen and a little codeine, and nothing was touching the sides. The Grey reunited director Joe Carnahan with producers Ridley Scott and Tony Scott (credited as executive producer) as well as actor Liam Neeson, who collaborated on the 2010 action film The A-Team. The film initially imagined a much-younger lead character and Brenda ... when the brain has experienced such trauma ... often the patient`s tolerance levels dramatically change. Instead of `biting his lip` when a situation may be upsetting him... now he just `lashes out` to varying degrees. This really is upsetting for you over time. Thanks so much for commenting on my post, given our very similar experiences I'd be really delighted to keep hearing about how you're getting on and perhaps we can share things that are working / not working for us.Please remember, he can't help it at the moment, so you need to be tolerant of him and give him the support, space and time to recover. Resting well is just as important as him making an effort. At this stage of his recovery he will tire easily, but it will get better over time. It is a slow and gradual process though. He might look normal because there are no scars to see, but there is internal damage that needs love and care, support and time to heal as best it can. I haven't got any better advice for you. I personally have had many problems with working post SAH and can only say that sometimes we need to adjust our expectations in the way of salary etc. Unfortunate, but your health and well being are more important so if at all possible put them first. Speech is often affected by subarachnoid haemorrhage. Hesitation and difficulty finding the right words are common and usually improve with time. It may be necessary to see a speech therapist if problems persist. My way out of this mess was to keep happy and tell family not to tell me sad sob stories or who they had a row with as my brain couldn't take 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. During the early weeks at home, you will feel very tired. Even simple things like having a bath can leave you completely drained. Having a rest or sleep period each day can help, but you should try not to do too much too soon. Gradually build up your activity as you feel able and the fatigue will ease with time, but you may find that you never completely regain your previous level of activity. I think I'm finding that now that my pain isn't so completely all-consuming, I have more headspace for the more traumatic thoughts and/or emotions about what has happened. So just working through that, have woken up a few days just feeling inexplicably sad. You may feel strange sensations in your head and this is common, especially during the early weeks of your recovery. If you are at all concerned about headaches or sensations you should consult your doctor.If you live in the UK, you are required by law to inform the DVLA of your subarachnoid haemorrhage. You should not drive until the DVLA informs you that you may continue to do so. It could be anything from 3 months to 1 year before you can drive again. Having worked with people with a disability, including brain injury, for over 20 years, I had some expertise to help me to understand my husband's very slow recovery. It was a fine balance of doing for him what he needed me to do, while also setting up situations in which I would leave him to do for himself, to build his confidence. It has taken enormous patience from both of us. While your husband is struggling with the aftermath of damage to his brain in these early days he is physically exhausted and the trauma has affected his ability to control his limbs. His thought processes are all confused and he is not acting like `your loving husband` anymore.

While we do not give any medical advice, you will receive support from our members, as you learn how as survivors or carers they have coped with brain trauma.When I first came home, I was constantly tired and slept a lot. Even simple things like getting dressed or talking to friends and family would leave me completely drained of energy. I needed a sleep during the day for several months and returning to work was particularly difficult as the fatigue increased and I needed longer rest periods. By signing up as a member, you'll be able to access our entire support forums straightaway as some parts of the forum are only available and visible to members. Once you return home from hospital it is natural to feel anxious and worry that it may happen again, although this is very unlikely. You may feel low or isolated at times, especially in the early weeks, but it generally improves with time. If you feel very low, it may be worth talking to your GP. Attending a support group and talking to others in similar situations can help, but if you feel uncomfortable talking to strangers face to face, an online support group like the one here at behindthegray.net can also help. When people say are you better or ask if you are doing anything I want to cry. I am not feeling sorry for myself just frustrated at how I am not me. I haven't been out anywhere as I am just so weak but I do have a little walk in the garden, weather permitting. Thank you so much for all your supportive replies. I am playing good-day-bad-day roulette at the moment it seems. Today is a better day, I've managed to do a few handover things for work since I left a number of things unfinished before my unexpected dramatic start to my time off! (That 30 mins of computer work tired me right out!)

Got up ok, just had a bad headache, after 4ish days of the headache hubby took me to hospital, this was on Sunday 1st May 2022. My thoughts are with you on your first year and also my best wishes for many many more. This is tough, but life is beautiful and we are survivors.

As soon as you take the clown key, molded will appear. Most are four-legged molded. The first will crawl into the area around the clown machine. Two more will appear when you leave that area. The shotgun makes short work of them. There’s also a fumer. Use your pistol’s RAMROD ammo on it. My short term memory had become very bad. I would walk from one room to another, forgetting the reason why I went in the first place. I had to start to make lists to help me remember. My brain seemed to be on "meltdown" and was reluctant to absorb any information. I would also forget a conversation very easily.
