I was just sitting back waiting for the replies from the infamous trio when I saw this  ;)

Good question, really...my doc didn't address it with me, but I chose to tell my husband to not even think about it!

Funny story:

As you know, I was in a VERY bad way... I was out of the hospital but not doing very well, so they took me back down to the medical center to test me for a CSF leak.  My mom, MIL and Dave were all with me - it took them all since I couldn't use my right side or walk very well.  I was participating in a balance study for Baylor, but the tests made me soooo sick, so I withdrew.  However, I agreed to let them continue to use my data and answered their questionnaires.  With everyone in the room (& me being married a little over a year), the young girl ask if we had "resumed intercourse" - hello, we weren't even sleeping in the same bed!!  I think she was just as embarrassed asking it!  Needless to say, to this day, my MIL has never gone in another exam room with me!!  :D

Well, if it wasn't for the catheter...it may have been real soon! LOL Sorry, I couldn't resist.  But I guess it all depends on how you feel.  I think I asked my Dr. about it and he said whenever I felt like it. So maybe if the body is in the  mood for it, then you are ok for it??? PS: Lori and Kaybo...tsk tsk....lol

I still say it depends on if you are male or female!      Plus I want to know  the sex of the person that mentioned it.  LOL!        I am surprised it hasn't been mentioned long before this as we all know it has been thought of by most of us!            More than once of us with multiple surgeries!                              Cheryl R                           That could a well attended mini session at the symposium!

Thanks for the laughs. I've been waiting for those responses!

Sorry I don't have anything funny to add...no secrets to tell......My husband treated me like a little princess post op with the killer headache and shortness of breath due to so much blood loss. Really can't remember the dirty details later........ >:D

Kudos to you for actually asking posting this!  

I will have to say, I DID actually ask because I am a female that has went through 2 unexpected c-sections, and 2 other unexpected 'female' surgeries.  Well, one of the things they strongly stated after those surgeries was waiting to have sex.    ~~~~~SO, of course I was more along the lines that surgery meant waiting 6 weeks,  or maybe I had an excuse...haha  ;)       Seriously, he said a couple weeks for the healing process & don't over do it  ;)

I too enjoy the laughs from the topic, but in all seriousness.....it is brain surgery and having sex can 'mess' with your head  ;D

Brutal headaches, facial pain and the side effects from being on Gabapentin and than Lyrica the libido got up and went.  I was on Gabapentin for one week and I noticed a huge change.  When I mentioned it to my doctor he looked at my husband with a smirk on his face and said, I'm really sorry Louie. 

When I see that annoying commercial on TV with the guy sing and dancing "Good Morning, Good Morning it's great to stay up late" I want to take a baseball bat to the TV.  I find all of these types of commercials to be completely lame  >:D

Anne Marie,
How about the commercials showing the two separate outdoor bathtubs?  Something about the logistics puzzles me.
