Its good to talk!! I just don't appear to be able to find out as much information as I need. I suppose once I hear back from the hospital all will become clearer. Its just things like whether coiling is going to leave me with a permanent headache - so that I want to claw the thing out of me? Will I be the same me? How long does it take to recover? Will my friends and family try to avoid me now? Can I still trust my own judgement? - just nightmare scenarios like this are occurring to me. And on and on and on ............
Thank you for your understanding. Hugs |

My aneurism saga is still continuing. I seem to have spent weeks and weeks just waiting for these 'crucial' phone calls from neurologists who then tell me there is nothing to report, or what the next test is going to be. At the moment I am waiting to hear on Tuesday at 4.00, what treatment is now proposed following a group meeting of neurologists and radiologists on Monday.
I do now know that following the latest CT scan with contrast that the aneurism is small, on the left carotid artery. I asked what had happened to the 8.3ml aneurism shown by the MRI scan, but didn't really get a clear cut answer as to whether we were talking about the same thing. I have naturally been trying to come to terms with this 'phone call' type of mental torture and have veered from thinking I am walking round with a time bomb in my head, to maybe there isn't much wrong as they don't appear to be too concerned. My life is totally on hold and I know I should be grateful that the MRI scan I originally had to find the cause of my loss of smell found the aneurism but I feel like I am being driven crazy. |

Well the phone rang again and she was very kind in explaining that they now want me to have an angiography to see what is the best way to reach my aneurism so that they can coil it. Its has a neck and is about 7mm at its widest on the artery leading to my left eye. Am hoping they find an extremely good way to get there!!
I felt pretty emotional after the call as had not realised it was so close to my eye - guess I just have to get over it............. So now they send me the appointment and I guess it will be a few hours in the hospital for the angiography. Does anyone have any info about this? I'm looking after poorly husband at the moment as he has just had his right knee replaced. He's in a lot of pain but this should lessen. I doubled his painkillers last night - hopefully this was OK. I looked up the dosage on the internet and he is meant to take 150mm a day when the maximum dosage is 400mm. The physio and blood tester arrive this morning so should get some input from them if my Dutch is up to it. I was worried that his ankle looks very black/bruised. Honestly you do feel as though you have been strung up and left out to dry after one of these ops. I'll just shut up now. Big hugs everyone |
