Donna, you will get through this. It is a scary adventure, but thankfully, we are still here today. I had mine clipped since it had already ruptured. I had a stage 4 SAH. I was back to work on a part time basis after about 6-8weeks. My biggest problem at that point was fatigue. I also had to have speech therapy since I couldnt say what I was thinking. Everything that came out was nonsense. Keep on trying and you will get to where you want to be. It is amazing how much we can convince ourselves that everything will be fine.
