Hi Rod As the others have said...it is very early days......i was exactly the same....i am now 16 months on and still have short term memory but it is improving, if tired or stressed can get the tremors, i had therapy to help with the weakness in my legs which helped.......my main problem is blurry vision, balance and confidence......it effects both physically and emotionally. Things will improve....it just takes time... Keep positive You have come to the right place though ....BTG has been a life line to me and have made some wonderful friends.......thinking of you both....take care, Love Tina xx

An emotional day indeed for both of you ......hope you can celebrate....take care love Tina xx

Hi Susan A very warm welcome to you......look forward to hearing more from you....Take care...love Tina xx

Hi Melissa a very warm welcome to BTG I am 16 months down the line.......i still get very tired........i try to push myself, like Karen.... but yes do pay a few days after. Everyone is different, but we do understand what you are going through. Hope to hear more from you....Take care. Love Tina xx

Hi Keith Thank you for sharing what happened to you.......how scary ......please rest up and take care. Love Tina xx

Hi Laura I suppose as i am S/E its slightly different for me.....i have told everyone....so they know, when i eventually do get back......but in your case....i dont know.....but then if you dont tell them, you will have to make sure you start as you mean to go on, and really look out for yourself, and not be put upon, and make yourself ill again. Difficult one . Love Tina xx

Hi Phil Wow! So pleased for you....take care, love Tina xx

Hi All I also get weird pains in my head, face and back of neck....i think it is only really now when i am tired.......they have improved a lot. Still scary sometimes....but i have put it down to mending pains. Love Tina xx

Fantastic Neil Well done you.......must be a great feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Keith....how nice is that.....well done. Love Tina xx

Hi Linda A very warm welcome to you.......i was clipped like you.... i have a clip at the stem of my brain and have a metal plate in the side of my head and cheek bone.....this was done during surgery. I had to wait nearly two weeks for my brain swelling to go down before they could operate. Mine was 7 hours. As Janet has said try not to worry....you are in safe hands......easy to say i know! Take care and rest up as much as you can.......keep in touch. Love Tina xx
