Nancy, I'm sorry no one has replied to you. I ruptured so I'm of no help. From readings I've done and those I've talked to clipping goes pretty smoothly. The restrictions are normal ones and don't last long. Your recovery also won't take long and you'll be pleased with how simply it goes.

No idea I'm afraid Nancy; I'm waiting for treatment of an unruptured annie, (scheduled 11/2) but mine is going to be coiled. I wanted to send you my best wishes for a smooth operation & quick recovery, though

Hi Nancy,
I had a rupture before my clipping so my recovery was much longer. This i do know You will probably have a catheter in your bladder to drain your urine. Also a central line IV, usually from the large vein at your clavical area upper chest, that way meds are given and blood can be drawn without so many punctures. I was hooked up to a heart monitor and oxygen tubing, but again i will stress I had a rupture so you may not have some of these, best to ask your neurosurgeon. You will need to sleep alot and will probably have some headaches with a foggy head. Depending on where the incision is there will be some hair shaving of your head shaved, unless your doc is sympathitic to your vanity, mine wasen't. The need to sleep is overwelming at first, but your body needs it to heal so give in to it. Make and freeze some meals ahead of time or if friends ask what can we do tell them to send meals, you won't feel like house hold chores for a while and shouldn't be doing them. I wish you the very best, Ruth |

Sorry I didn't see this sooner.I had one clipped in 2004 and it wasn't bad at all.First you don't remember the first few nights in ICU and then they take you to your room.I had my hair washed on day 4 or 5 can't remember and my left eye was swollen shut,that hurt more then my head. I would show you pictures but don't want to scare anyone. Believe it or not I had a headache the night after my coil and really no pain with the clipping. Like Ruthie said you will sleep a lot the first week but don't over do it when you start feeling better.I thought after four weeks I could go back to doing everything I use to,well I was wrong and paid for it.So take things slow and rest you'll do fine. ooxx Mimi |

Hi Nancy. I am new to the site but I had to register when I saw your post. I had a right carotid arterial aneurysm at the base of my brain clipped over 3 years ago. In fact it will be 4 years this coming April. I had my surgery on a Tuesday and went home on Saturday with strict instructions from my surgeon to do absolutely nothing until I saw him in one week. I don't think he wanted to send me home that soon. I did everything my surgeon told me to do but I still ended up with a sub-dural hematoma. About four days later, I ended up back in the hospital for about 8 days or so. I think that if the insurance company (probably) hadn't forced my surgeon to release me so soon I might not have ended up back in the hospital. Who really knows. I had some right eye vision changes but nothing significant. Some of my memories seem to be gone but my surgeon thinks that is a result of the sub-dural hematoma more than the surgery. They made my scar just under the edge of my hairline. They did an awesome job in hiding it. My main instructions upon leaving the hospital was rest, rest, rest. My doctors didn't want me to do anything. I wasn't allowed to drive right away though. I think I had to wait just a couple of weeks or so. Long enough for the healing of the skull and stuff to begin. I do know that I was tired for awhile after the sugery. Oh yeah, and my jaw was really sore for several days and achy for several more days after that. Other than that, it really wasn't so bad. I will say a prayer for you. When I went into the hospital for my surgery everyone asked me if I was scared. I really wasn't. I had the attitude that if I died during surgery I won, because I got to go to heaven and see my mom and grandma and all those loved ones that have gone before me. If I lived (and somehow I knew everything was going to be okay) I still won because I got to stay here with my wonderful husband and sons. God Bless you. You will do great.
