I
had brain surgery april 29th, i'm always
so forgetful, I don't have the energy I
would like to have. Is this normal after
having this? I could sleep all day. My
family and friends tell me I often repeat
things. I had an anuerysm. I have 5
children, my baby was 4weeks old when I
had the anuerysm. I'm just tired of
being tired, but is this normal behavior?

It takes a long time for the brain to
heal, its alright to sleep as much as
possible, the more you sleep the more the
brain will heal. It took me two years of
recovering for my brain to heal for my
brain hemmorage. My doctor told me to
write things down which could help me
remember things. I was in my twenties
then, I am now in my forties and I still
write everything down so I dont forget. I
also have four more swollen vessels in the
back of my head, plus the one in the
middle of my brainstem. Just hang in
there sweetie it will get better in time.
Just a lot of patience is what it takes
with a lot of support with all the love
ones. I still have a lot of problems with
my eye site but you also get use to that,
the body seems to adapt to things that we
will never understand.

A baby, plus needing to sleep (& I
agree sleep is a healer) plus
forgetfulness, what a mixture - surf the
net for some alternative therapies herbal,
homeopathic, naturopathic, vitamins (like
gingko bilboa) etc, which might help the
forgetfulness, improve healing & help
you cope with less sleep than you need
given having a baby makes that a problem.

Bless your heart! Thank goodness you are
ok. You have every right to be exhausted
and call on everyone you can get your
hands on to help. I have a 3 yr. Old
and remember the early days. I also just
had brain surgery 5 months ago. I had to
choose whether to take a shower or get up
around the house. I went to bed after my
shower. Do not feel bad asking for help.
You just had brain surgery and a baby!
Just the emotional toll for each of those
situations merits an award of bravery.
My surgery was optional (epilepsy), so
there was no memory loss. Hang in there
and ask for help. A grandparent was on
my doorstep at 8:00am each morning the
first few weeks to greet my little one.
Hopefully, this event will be the last of
it's kind. Go easy on yourself. You
need just as much attention as your little
one right now. Congratulations on your
baby!
Take care.

Brain Surgery Posted: 12-01-05 22:39pm
I had a brain aneurysm that rupured a
while back. I also have a lot of trouble
with my memory, losing things, repeating
things constantly, (according to my wife),
and still a lot of head pain. I've been
told, correctly so it seems, of epilepsy,
not grande mal, but periods where I don't
know who, or where i, or anyone else, is.
I'm very thankful for my wife, who has
helped me alot through very trying
times.
Hang in there, as I am trying to do,
every day. God be with you, if i'm still
allowed to say that.
Hi, you have definately been through a
lot. I think some of the tiredness may be
due to the fact that you have 5 kids to
take care of and your brain is trying to
heal. It is a possibility that you have
an overload of somekind. I would try
getting as much sleep as possible and use
co-q10. This will help you heal and you
can find it in health food stores or
internet. Good luck
