Hi Libby have the clip that is my advice I would rather than being discharged and left with that in my head, I have had to clippings done sept 02 on rupture one jan 03 on aneurysm second one I was pregnant 2wks later with my first child who is now nearly 5 and I have a 9 month old. I am sitting my driving test next month and I work, I was well say a month and a half after first clip 2wks after second one everyone is different it is your choice but I would have the clip, Goodluck with whatever you decide to do.
