Post-clipping: I’m tired, miserable, uncomfortable, and utterly bored, please help.
On Monday August 10th I had a craniotomy to clip an aneurysm on my right ophthalmic nerve.
Now I’m back at home and going slightly crazy. My hair is matted and disgusting, the headaches while expected and not nearly as bad as I thought fluctuate in location, intensity, and type, no way I arrange my body feels comfortable, and my default activity, reading, just makes the headaches worse.
I’ve got five weeks left of forced recuperation and FMLA, how do I stay sane?
Any and all advice greatly appreciated.
