I had a sub arachnoid hemorrage (my spelling is off) almost two years years.
I am so familiar with what you experience. I too am unable to work any more. I use to teach but there is just no way that is posssible any more. For the most part I'm fine with all of. I try and remind myself of the things I can do and enjoy. There are still days when I don't feel great, and days when I get depresessed, but things could have been so much worse than they are. Fencing sounds like fun, my reflexes are very slow so I would never win but I'd probably have a good laugh at my own expense. I hope you feel better soon. Julie
