He did not lose his intelligence but he can literally not remember yesterday. (I know, people always think of the movies---50 First Dates or Ground Hog Day.) He relies on his iphone calendar to keep notes on his days. (The kids and I help him a lot, too.) He volunteers two days a week and keeps busy with all of our family activities. We have a wonderful network of friends and family that support us a great deal. This ordeal was more life changing than the cancer in many ways as our whole family has had to adjust to a whole new “normal”. We have each other and our faith which has helped us survive.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007802944531676090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717294245181788695.post-84711517057106333982011-01-10T15:13:23.331-05:002011-01-10T15:13:23.331-05:00What caused the brain hemorrhage?

You might want to read my website (yes I have a blog also) but it may give you tips. Neuropathy is a nasty side effect and painful. using essential oil can often help relieve pain. Applying Frankincense and peppermint and Lavender oils can help sooth the nerves. If there is burning use any oil to clam it down.
