Hi all,
Today is 6 weeks for me after my surgery. I am still on the mend but getting better and less tired everyday! I have gotten approval to begin weaning off the Keppra (anti-seizure meds) and have started the wean last week, so Friday will be my last dose thankfully.
I don’t see my Neurosurgeon until next week because he is on vacation. Here is a list of what I am still experiencing at 6 weeks:
Still tired but don’t need naps , just having a hard time sleeping at night.
Still numb behind the incision, which I hear is normal for a while.
Still having some pressure at the incision site , but from what I can see no swelling.
Still get frustrated pretty easily, but now that the dosage has decreased on the anti seizure meds I am starting to see that dissipate.
Still have one scab on the incision where a small drain was that is taking forever to go away! But incision is itchy and getting sharp pains which means nerves are repairing themselves I suppose!
Otherwise, all is great! I do notice that if I over do it I get a headache and my left eye gets a little blurry, so I really have been trying to take breaks!
I wish everyone a happy and healthy new year!
