Hi Lynn! Thanks for all the info. My aneurysm is on the right cerebral artery. They will only have to cut about a 1/2 dollar size circle out of the right side of my skull. When you hear the word craniotomy, your experience is what you picture. 10 inches? Ouch.
I have undiagnosed MS. All the symptoms, but not enough evidence to diagnose. I was going to have the lumbar puncture, but I think I'll opt for brain surgery instead! Actually, I was going to go to an MS specialist for a second opinion, but I will put that on hold for awhile. I AM ready for this surgery, nervous naturally, but I will actually be relieved to have it done. I think most of my worry lies in afterwards. With the MS, i already have such fatigue, dizziness, cognitive issues, a horrible memory, and on and on as I'm sure you know. I've slowly come to the realization lately that I just can't do it all anymore, and more so after the surgery. Fatigue, fatigue, fatigue is what I'm most afraid of. Spending the next week before surgery trying to get as organized as possible, so that maybe, just maybe, things won't fall apart too badly. My husband is great, and I know he and my teenagers will pitch in, but, being a woman, nothing is ever done as well as we would have it. Maybe it's time for me to change? Thanks so much for all your info. You read all about it, and talk to your doctor about it, but sometimes, the best info comes from people that have actually been there. As far as pain, nothing's worse than labor, so I think I'll be okay with that. I'll post after all is over and i'm starting to recover. Thanks Lynn! Quote:
