Holly, Hi and welcome to BTG. I had a very similar SAH to you. I spent 6 days in ICU but have no lingering motor, speech nor mental (as far as I know) impact. However, I have experienced bouts of anxiety that were never there before.
My Non-aneurysm SAH was in March of this year and I am back to full physical exercise as before - but there is an emotional component to my recovery that is still in process. I was given all clear by my neurosurgeon after 30 days. The anxiety attacks came later and have begun to diminish over time.
This forum gave me support and info that I never found anywhere else. Good luck on your recovery. John
