      Hi Winnie- it

      It`s been a good day- were you able to get into the busy shoping/Christmas bargain frenzy- or are you a Boxing Day bargain hunter- has your tastes changed much since your SAH- Life more precious -no doubt!?

      Funny-my wife loved all the Soap`s before- she hasn`t watched any since-!

      Where were you when your SAH happened-My wife had been in hospital for 5 weeks for tests -I visited her at 2pm and she told me that she had a terrific headache during the night- minutes later she was unconscious in front of me and I managed to get her immediate attention- she was in a single room-if I had not been there no-one would have seen her and the consequences would have been a lot worse- unlike you she was in an induced coma for 2 days then brought round while in Intensive Care- at that point they were still trying to diagnose her other serios issues- I keep looking back at these awefull days-but her progress on all fronts has been great-and here`s me fretting about `emotions`-   

      Anyway-Winnie-I am glad you took the time to answer my little `cry for help`  9 days ago-!

      What do you `Mods` do for Christmas and New Year celebrations?

      Enjoy whatever--

    I find Soaps doom and gloom so anyything thats associated with sadness I dont

    watch.   I was cooking my husbands tea and my sister had been on phone moaning, then hubbys came in and I couldnt shut her up.

    I told her I must finish Hubbys tea but she kept on moaning.  My head hurt with her moaning and I said I must finish tea then passed out so Al took phone off her.

    He said to her Win needs ambulance and hung up on Sis.

    I remember nothing from 2009 to 2010 peace lol j/k xx

    Be Well and happy  xx The pair of you xxxx Wonder who ate the curry lol

      Hi Winnie

      Can`t begin to imagine how things were for your hubby and family during that year-you have a special guy there!

      That was 2009-heh-this is 2014 and here you are -giving me a bit of a `heads-up`    You`ve come a long way yourself-

      Enjoy the next week of Festivities- I will be back in touch-still some things to ask you-

      Best wishes for 2015-

      Thanks Winnie

      Happy New Year to you both too.

      What sort of plans have you made for 2015? 

      I mentioned that I wanted to ask you a couple of things-

      You said earlier that you were touchy since your SAH- does that get any better with time? or is it something you just have to live with? 

      Also you said that when your hubby made a bit of fun at your expense and normally you would have laughed it off-but now you take it differently- is this something that gets easier too with time-or is it just the way things are after SAH? 

      I know every SAH survivor is affected differently-do you feel much different in your `thinking` from what you were before?

      Winnie-I am just trying to grasp what it feels like from your perspective- you don`t have to answer these questions-

      Have a great time with your family and friends this week-

    My feelings since my SAH Ready here goes~

    I feel so lucky to be alive and am grateful to all my family for sticking by  me.

    My feelings have changed towards my family as they were loving and caring towards me.  I have always been happy and looked on the bright side so even

    more so now as I feel so blessed and loved by them.  They have always looked after me, being the youngest.(spoilt brat)lol but that's me !  We are not all the same.  A man I knew died of SAH while I was in hospital so there you go I guess

    I am lucky xx   Keep Well Subxx and wife xx

      Many thanks Winnie

      Sounds like you have such a strong family support -it`s great for your progress to know that others care so much-your hubby must have gained a lot of strength from them during that aweful time when you were `in limbo`.

      My employment took me away from family and we had great support from a host of our friends and work colleagues 3 and 1/2 years ago. 

      It`s a time when you find out who your real friends are-!

      Knowing what I went through emotionally while it was all happening-your hubby must be a really strong guy to have watched you for a year of uncertainty!!!

      PS   Do you allow him a little celebration drink at New Year-or has he trully given up for ever?

      Take care and keep enjoying life-

      Many thanks again Winnie

    He told me he has given up but what he says I take with a pinch of salt,  But it scared him he had a call from  hospital and he knew he had to remain sober. He is a good hubby and I love him so.  Even though he can be a misery ha joke.

    Go to Carers on Behind The Gray you ight get an insight then.  Good luck to you

    Both.

    Win xxxxxxx
