My dad had a catastrophic SAH last August, still in a rehab unit, still can't walk or talk, he looks like my Dad still, i.e. he isn't wasting away but I don't know what he thinks about it all or indeed if he understands what has happened, without the ability to speak we have on idea. We have tried to encourage him to write or type out words but o no avail. He is the sort of bloke who would fight back if he could but he seems unable to he he's regained some use of both arms, which gave us hope initially but it seemed to stop there. I am eager to read more about your recovery, well doe and vey best wishes
Thanks so much Biker. I love all your posts and replies, you are a real asset to this site. My mum has had enough to deal with having had her own SAH! I am just thankful Mum has recovered as much as she has, although I know it is difficult for her and she is now having to deal with the aftermath of her bleed. It's just not fair she has to deal with this too. Her and Dad haven't been together for many years now but they remained friends and I know she worries about my Brother and I having to deal with this.
i really do think that sometimes those of us with the injuries have it easier than our loved ones, whilst we can fight this as much as we can, our loved ones have no control over any of it, and have to deal with all the logistical aspects of it
Don't give up I am still recovering after 3years I have just been to kietherapy and for the first time he has said my triceps have started working I was put in a coma for two weeks I didn't know anything until I woke up.dont give up they told my wife they didn't think I would survive.I won't bore everyone else It is all in my first book Peters' Lucky Stroke Part1 .so it was my first two years experience I have just had friends make a gym and a workshop for my wife which we shareWe had to pay of course which is difficult now I can't work I feel writing means I am helping my wife ,myself and other people.
