Hi Susie

I am not on this forum vey often, but I noticed you had not had many replies. I had an aneurysm clipped in 2004, and was around this forum a lot after that. The brain is very slow to heal - it can be anything up to two years before you are fully recovered (or at least up to the best you will be - although having said that, some people continue to make progress after that, it is very individual).

Treat you body and your brain gently - your brain had a massive insult and it will soon let you know if you are overdoing things. Recovery is a long slow process - so listen to your body and if you need to rest a lot that is not unusual. This is a life threatening occurrence, and it will have major physical, mental and psychological impact on you. So, be patient, you should notice a lot of improvement after about six months.

Please take care

Lyn
