Welcome to our group that no one would like to be a member of. I’m sorry to hear about your rupture. I ruptured almost two years ago, you can read my profile for the whole story. My peripheral vision was never affected, but my Ophthalmologist told me that it is not unusual after a ruptured brain aneurysm.
I do know that everything gets better with time, most of the recovery happens during the first year after the rupture, but it doesn’t stop there. You are young and I do believe that this is your super power. I could be your grandma and I am almost back to my old self, just a little bit more tired and I can live with that. Don’t rush, eat well, rest when you need to, some gentle exercise will do wonders, go for walks if you are able to. The weakness could definitely be a combination of being bedridden for two weeks, maybe some weakness from the injury in the brain as well. I’m sure you know how much muscle strength we loose when we are bedridden. I suppose you got some information how to go forward when you were released from the hospital. I know that everything will get better, you are still so early in your recovery. Congratulations to your RN exam, you will be an excellent nurse! I wish you all the best.
