Patient discussions
The patient is usually instructed to take it easy for 2-4 weeks after discharge (in particular, no lifting) and slowly return to normal life pace (based on expert opinion).
The patient is told to seek urgent medical attention if he or she experiences sudden, severe headache or weakness, numbness on one side of the body, slurred speech, double vision, vision loss, or difficulty swallowing. Counseling patients and caregivers on the high long-term risk of cognitive dysfunction can be beneficial to identify long-term needs.[37]
