Thanks @FinWhaleFan for that Headway article — I read all 18 pages right away 
. Mostly because fatigue is indeed my biggest issue… granted that I am just 5 weeks out from my last flow diverter “install” procedure, I absolutely need a nap in the afternoon. I keep describing myself like an old iPhone where the battery is A-ok when you start the day at 100% and then it rapidly goes from 75% to 35% in no time flat. It really depends on what I do though — today I decided to go to my kids’ school parents’ monthly coffee “meet up” and drove down for half hour, parked, walked, chatted with pretty much strangers in a small group, with background laughter and chatter — even standing in full sun after chatting on the street corner as we left the coffee shop… and because I’m a bit of an optimist at times, on my way back home, I was passing my office that I hadn’t been to since last December and I had the brilliant idea to stop in to say hi. It was indeed lovely to see a few folks on a quiet Friday - again just chatting, but by the time I made it home, I started feeling light-headed, shallow breathing and tingly fingers (left hand mostly). Those are my signs. I still pushed myself to walk the dog out around the block, because well, he was begging, but it was a slow walk. I recharged with a nap — always setting an alarm so I don’t oversleep and mess with my night time sleep. Sometimes, even when my body is bone-tired and I’m on my bed, I toss and turn and my mind goes off with lists of things I should be doing, so I’ve found listening to meditational music quiets it down a bit to allow me to fall asleep.
Separate question and maybe a different thread: how many of you are back to work? I’m getting a sense that maybe I won’t be going back anytime soon… I have another stent for my giant Annie in November and know that my neurosurgeon will tell me another three month recovery, “Complete recovery” for the neurosurgeons seem to be the “physical” healing of the procedure, but the fatigue is indefinite…?
