Hi!
My name is Missy my mother had her surgery a week ago today. She had an unruptured anyeursim that was clipped. She was released on Thursday and has now been home for 3 days. I'm looking for advice and reassurance on her recovery process. So far we have had no complications that would require a hospital visit. However, it seems that yesterday evening that she was having problems thinking of the right words. I think she is trying to hard and may be over doing it a little. She was on the computer for short periods checking her email, read a little bit of the news paper, and the prior day had several vistors and wanted to chat alot, she also called my grandfather on her cell phone to let him know that she had the surgery and all was well. Then my brother came to v isShe didn't tell him ahead of time he is old and she didn't want to worry him. I'm assuming that her words a jumbled a bit because she was over tired. How long should I expect her have problems gathering her words? At times she is talking very normal. Should I be alarmed or is this normal? I have done research on line and am feeding her foods that are good for healing the brain. Today I am requiring her to rest and trying to limit her activivty a little better. I have been accused by her friends as being the Natzi Nurse but just want to make sure I am doing the right things for an excellent recovery. Also, she has lost use of her right arm. The doctor (Dr. Nanda) said that plaque came loose in one of her ateries during the CT anigiogram and eventually that the plaque that is lodged will dissolve and she will regain use. Has anyone else out there experienced this or something similar. She is concerned and I just keep reassuring her that it will be okay it's just going to take a little time. Any advice is welcome.
