Dogenzenji

Hey, thanks everyone, well she was transferred to the Royal for a few days then discharge, a dodgy day on transfer with some disorientation, but now all OK. Now 22 days in, some memory problems but nothing massive. One visual disturbance she calls 'Africa' as the shape is the same but only visible in the right eye. Some taste change and the feeling that it is difficult to smile, and of course the exhaustion, early days still but I think she has signed up herself and will get round to posting once she can use the laptop more.

Hi there ! My partner suffered an SAH last week, now 8 days in. The aneurysm was coiled about 24 hours after the incident and was succesful. Throughout my partner was conscious and alert with sense of humour intact. She is on nimodipine every 4 hours and keeping the fluids up (2-3 litres a day), an MRI scan 2 days ago was good. Today she has learned that she is going to be discharged tomorrow from the Walton centre in Liverpool, this does seem 'early' but the consultant says the operation was a complete success. I guess what we both need to know is what to to expect in the early days? The consultant mentioned that care in the first three months is critical...what are the chances of any more 'emergencies'? There has been some taste changes and a visual afterimage that is fading but apart form that I for one am just hoping that the life threatening stuff is over and I can just give her the best care I can in the coming months / years... Any advice this early in? Thanks & Regards
