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.
