Hi Victoria
As others have said, you're doing really well to get to this stage after only a month. A month after my op, I was still lying semi-comatose and unresponsive in hospital!
Don't be rushing back to work unless you have to. After the initial buzz of being back with your friends, you may start to find difficulty in doing everything you used to do and that can be frustrating at this stage. Take some time for your body and brain to recover from the trauma they've been through. My enforced break from work enabled me, for the first time in my life, to appreciate and enjoy the art of relaxation!
I'd be surprised if you don't receive some follow-up aftercare - as it's only been a month or so, perhaps your appointment letter will come later. I'd thought that follow-up checks were standard to ensure that the aneurysm repair was secure. I had 9 coils inserted to seal my aneurysm and, following discharge from hospital, I had repeat MRI scans at approx 6, 12 and 18 months, each followed by an appointment with the neuro consultant to confirm that all seemed OK. Last consultation was January 2009, but I'm due a final scan in summer 2012, five years after the event, before being "signed off". I somehow assumed that this sort of aftercare would be standard procedure throughout the country ... but maybe not !!
In the meantime, take it easy and make the most of the sunshine!
