I appreciate your feedback- so much so that I am going to brave the cold and slightly rainy weather for another walk! I am so active that just sitting here is a bit too stressful for me. ok...I do listen to my body and I do sleep when I'm tired. I take blood pressure every day and I take my meds . Will be returning to work on March 1st (4 weeks after NASAH). Maybe the doctor will say return part-time, not sure. I did walk yesterday and had no headaches. Plus went shopping a bit with my sister. I am going to keep plowing ahead toward full recovery. although I am canceling a hiking challenge into remote area of wilderness that was scheduled for Mid-april. Just don't wish to have headache and be so far from hospitals. Keep in touch! spring is almost here - wildflowers are about to burst forth!

Hi All! I resisted getting online so as not to upset myself during this scary process. Well, that worked until I found myself questioning why the headaches come and go. I went 3 days without headache and began walking 2-3 miles/day in attempt to stay in shape. This am woke up with headache (4 on scale of 1-10) - not like the original "worse headache of your life". Doctor (via nurse) said this is normal and not to worry - just take a vicodin. I keep hearing how lucky I am that I have normal angiogram and scans and that I will be "normal". I am scared because I fear that I won't be normal again and will have to stop hiking my trails and gardening. I have read the posts and they are re-assuring. If any of you are physically active, please re-assure me that I will be ok.
