Hi Jane

So sorry you experienced a small stroke during surgery but very pleased loss of speech and unsteadiness on feet improving and hopefully home later where you can properly relax and rest up.

Great news the other 2 Aneurysms have not grown

Take good care and when you feel up to it let us know how you are doing.

Thinking of you & sending lots of get well wishes for a speedy recovery xx

Hi Mandy

Thank you for posting an update, your post is excellent and will certainly help others.
You should be very proud of how you are coping at such an early stage. Double vision is horrible and as you say it makes you feel dizzy, sick and affects your balance and coordination. I suffered from this for quite some time.

Thank you for sharing its really good to read how well you are doing and I love your sense of humour !

Take care xx

So if I did leave teaching I am afraid I would feel like I had nothing to offer the world and if I paired that feeling with the depression from the pain I just worry I wouldn't do well.

I don't know. It sounds silly when I write it out, but it is in my heart.

Teechur, it doesn't sound silly at all, it is how you feel and from the heart. I agree with Casey .... go for it ! It sounds a great plan good luck xx

Good news  your wife is being scheduled an MRI scan asap

Thinking of you Jane and wishing you well xx

Hi Jane

Wishing you well for your surgery and angiogram this Wednesday.... thinking of you, sending lots of positive vibes your way and in my prayers. Take care love Tina  xx

Dear Iola you are in my thoughts and prayers.  Sometimes it must feel like you fight and win one battle and then another one starts! Feel for you lovely lady and wish you all that is positive and good.

Take good care and let us know how you are doing....we are always here for you xx   

Hi Carolyn sending lots of love and positive vibes your way xx

We are always here for you lovely lady xx

Hi Norima

Really sorry cant help you on this. I have never heard of 'expansion of the inferior olivary nucleus infratentorially ' and like you tried to look it up and also none the wiser !

For peace of mind I would give your Neurologist's secretary a call and book an appointment rather than waiting for your next scan, so they can explain to you what it means.

Good luck & keep in touch xx

Hi Dawn

Lovely to hear from you

Its really good to read that things have settled down nicely and that your new work hours have made such an astonishing difference to your health.

Well done Rob hope you can relax and have a restful weekend to re charge those batteries !

Hi Jane a very warm welcome to BTG

I am so sorry you are having to go through this all again bless your heart xx

Thank goodness you went and had the MRI scan and are now being closely monitored.

Such a very difficult time for you especially with the worry of your sight and the two remaining aneurysms....sending lots of positive vibes your way and a huge hug.

Wishing you well for your coiling in 3 weeks time and hope you get more answers.

Glad you found us, keep in touch and yes we are always here.

Take care xx

Hi Rob a very warm welcome to BTG

I used to get very strange sensations too....I was clipped. It was only when I found this Forum that I found out others were creaking, squelching and feeling like spiders crawling etc. It's  the mending of your brain and the blood dispersing and also bone, muscle, nerves repairing. I found it very scary at first. As Macca has said, its always best to seek medical advice just to be on the safe side.

Glad you found us and wishing you well.

Hi Chris (Berger) a very warm welcome to BTG

Very early days for you, glad you are taking things slowly and listening to your body.

Great to read you are getting back to sculpting and exercising again.

When something happens like this it sure does make you appreciate life & what's really important. 

Glad you found us, look forward to hearing more from you.

Wishing you a speedy recovery too.

Take care

Hi Liz so pleased MRI scan went well and all ok.... wishing you well for the colonoscopy tomorrow, hopefully will go just as well. Take care xx

43 days post surgery/NASAH

 Getting longer between daytime naps.  Fewer if any sudden energy drains, just the regular tiredness slowly setting in.  2 recent meetings went very well and I feel like me completely.

 One advantage a scare like this gives us all is the appreciation for the truly valuable things in life.  They vary from person to person so go ahead and fuss over yours like you didn't before.

That's great news Jules really pleased for you !

Ouch ! Poor you Carolyn...hope not in too much pain ? Take care xx
