Aneurysms Support Group

Hi everyone,

Im new here. I am just over 4 weeks post op from an aneurysm clipping. My aneurysm had not ruptured. (it had ruptured before I didnt know it had there was scar tissue in my brain). I just want to see if the stuff I am struggling with are normal things. I get very disoriented very easily, fatigued with normal activities, still have terrible headaches, when im at church if the base is too loud i can hear the bone shift in my head, still have alot of incision pain, and my sense of smell is wierd. I can tell if its sweet or flowery and such but I cant distinguish the smell itself if that makes sense. I am really struggling with my memory. I forget things very easily like where I am at or what im doing or like my parents phone number who have had the same number for 25yrs and I call there 2+ a week. Im usually very quick thinking, quick witted, and right on top of things. I am on an anti depressant I was prescribed after surgery. In spite of taking that I am very depressed. I feel like I should be recovering faster. I wish I felt normal again. That I dont have to hold onto something to bend over, or worry about falling because my body forgets im standing. Sorry for the rant.
