Can I say that 5 or 6 days post a big op like that is very early!
Here is my story: My Update - Dural AVF Embolization - #22 by DickD . I would say that I felt rough for at least a week and got to a better position within three weeks but it is a long journey. If you click on the date that is top right of any post, it shows you exactly when it was posted, so in this thread I log how I felt at each stage and you could see how many weeks post op each was.
I would warn you that subsequent to my op, I didn’t feel properly “fixed” and I struggled to believe the doc that all was really done and ok and it took me a whole year to 18 months to feel largely “back to normal” so please be patient with yourself with how well you feel, please expect a few steps forwards and one back each month but so long as you make progress over the long term, I’d say you’ll be doing ok.
I hope sharing my timeline helps.
Very best wishes,
Richard
