I am so happy to have found this site! Let me introduce myself, I am a 61 yr old married woman with two children....a son and a daughter and I have three grandchildren....2 boys, 7 and 9 and a grand daughter who is 3. I married my high school sweatheart and we have been together almost 50 yrs. My disaster was on Sept 15. I had just come out from a shower and was brushing my grand daughters hair. We were getting ready to go to her gymnastics class. When I lifted my head and stood up straight I felt a little dizzy and out of it and the next thing I remember I woke up on my husbands lap on the floor covered in vomit. My 3 yr old grand daughter actually had the sense to run an get my husband and she told him I fell. That is the extent of what I remember for over a month. I was taken to an area hospital and then medflighted into Boston. I remained in ICU for 3 weeks, neuro floor for over a week and then to a Rehab Hospital for another month. Things are coming along .....I have PT, OT and speech therapy. I am finished with OT but am still working on PT and speech as one side of my tongue is paralyzed causing speech and swallowing issues. I hope to be able to go back to work but I have this continuing vertigo issue that we are trying to correct. Has anyone else had this? It is driving me crazy! I can't drive until I get rid of this. And of course I am still exhausted which is so frustrating. I have a real personal question that I would like to talk with anyone who has had the same issue. It concerns sex. It is a little tough to talk about as I have never hed to before, and am waiting for my Dr appt which is some distance away.
It is so helpful to know that you are all here and I look forward to connecting with all of you.
Have a great weekend!
Love,
Pegsshur

Welcome to our community and this wonderful bunch of folks. While I am not on the welcoming committee and they will be far more specific than me, I did a quick search for you.

This area addresses sexuality discussions (hope I copied the link, correctly - it's listed in the Health Conditions M-Z section):

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/fo...sprune=75&f=46

I know there are other areas that discuss neurologic issues, but I didn't see them right off. I remember someone on the new introductions recently that was asking about some specific brain issues, and the Welcome Committee posted specific links.

Poke around, use the search function, peek into places. There's a place to discuss just about everything here in a caring and supportive environment.

Again, I'm glad you're here and look forward to learning from you and offering whatever I can, when I can.
