perrycornish Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hello Phil and welcome, the time it takes to recover is the one thing which really gets to us all, but after all we have had at the very least a brain injury and maybe surgery too, so it is going to take a while.Conventional wisdom says one to two years and that is what the majority of us find, but we can all promise you that you will improve, gradually, possibly in fits and starts but for sure it will happen. Looking back over the last year, I am so much better now than I was only a short time (months) ago. Your best bet is to accept that it takes a while, rest and spoil yourself, talk to us and generally let yourself be pampered for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kim0811 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi Phil and welcome to btg. As it's been said here already, 7 months isn't long and we all recover differently. I'm 4 and a half year post SAH and I still get tired and forgetful. Don't try to rush things and be patient with yourself. Take care.

Skippy Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi Phil Welcome to the site and to the family - this is a fantastic place to be for support and advice. Seven months isn't long - I, like many on here, thought my recovery would be very quick but it was at least a year before I started to feel anywhere near 'normal' (not that I ever have been ) Take care and speak soon Love Sami xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rince Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hi Phil, The recovery spectrum is large and you shouldn't get hung up on where you are in that wide spread. What you have to worry about is doing the best YOU can do, don't worry about anybody else but do listen to your body and your brain!
