So sorry, I am on the other end but knowing my children loved me gave me so much strength but I fully understand you too need help, I'm sure someone on here will.

Hi. My wonderful husband suffered a burst aneurysm which caused a SAH and stroke in October last year. He is being discharged from hospital this weekend and I cant wait to have him home. Its been a long journey, which still has a long way to run. I guess we are lucky, he has hardly any problems mentally, the worst being the crying frequently, but Im sure that will get better. He has just managed walking, now with just a stick. His main problem is his left arm, which has a lot of weakness.

I sympathise so much with you. Caring for a loved one is a very difficult job, I have given up my part time employment already, as I was travelling 20 miles each way to visit every day since October, and he will need a lot of care when he comes home. The strain it puts on you physically and emotionally is huge, and I know its not going to be easy. But, when he was first taken ill, we did not have much hope for him, so all of this is such a bonus.

There are a lot of unknowns to come for us Im sure, but we will get there. I am happy to "be here" for you any time you need to talk, and maybe we can help each other?

My Dad had a very severe haemorrhage last August, he wasn't expected to survive. He was then in a coma for approximately 3 weeks. When he did come round he had no movement in his arms or legs and was unable to speak. Gradually he has regained movement in both arms and is moving his legs. He still cannot walk or speak (he has said a few words but only a small few) and is in a hospital which specialises in brain injury. He is having physio and speech therapy. We are unsure how much he understands due to him being unable to speak at present.

My Mum also had a haemorrhage just over a year ago. Mum wasn't in a coma but there were times when she was very poorly and quite confused. She has since made a really good recovery x

I am so sorry to hear about your situation, What is the prognosis for your mother? Could she yet improve or have you been told otherwise? and do you have any physical help?

My ex husband had a massive SAH in August but he is still hospitalised and receiving physio and speech therapy so it seems his doctors are expecting further improvements. Presently he is not mobile and not speaking although he has uttered the odd "yes" "no" "love you".

I think people will be more able to help if you could give a few more details of the nature of your mums disabilities. It's difficult to imagine if it's a matter of moral support or whether you need further professional help, Either way ,hopefully, someone here will come up with something. x

Hi there,

My mum suffered the same back in March 2010 when I was 20, she is mentally and physically disabled.

I wrote a blog mainly to update people with how she was getting on but it also allowed me to share and feelings or thoughts I had... lindsaybunce.tumblr.com/ - if you want to have a read.

If you have any questions or wish to just offload please feel free to do so!

Thanks,

C
