I have col bolt chromium clip on aneurysm but titanium plates and screws in side of head and cheek bone. I listened to my Consultant...as you say they know what they used.

Hi Vicki A very warm welcome to BTG.....so sorry to hear about your Mum.....it is still very early days....and things do get better....it does take time.

Keep positive look forward to hearing how your Mum is doing...and you remember to take care too. Love Tina xx

Hi John...really hope you get some response now, it really is so unfair for you.....Take care Love Tina xx

Hi I really hope when you see your Mum that she will be brighter and improving....take care love Tina xx

Hi With regards to the Doctors sick note, mine started off like that, i had to keep getting another one, every month then every 3 months. I think it is standard procedure. All added worry, let alone getting to the Doctors, as i cant drive again yet, always relying on others, which i hate. The first 6 months i was hardly out of bed and had double blurry vision, balance problems and was paralysed on right side....so could not work. My GP was very understanding and wrote me a MED 4, which lasts for 6 months. Not ever being in this situation before, it is very confusing, so many forms to fill in and things to sort....i wish you and your hubby well. Take care Love Tina xx

Wonderful...wonderful news!!!! :-D Take care Love Tina xx

Hi There Really hope all goes well for your husband....and hope that getting back to work, will bring some sort of normality back for you. Wishing you both well. Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Cyclesa.... so sorry to hear about your friend....i am from the Uk but there are others here from you side of the pond that hopefully can help you regarding other facilities and where you may be able to seek a second opinion. I wish your and your friend all the very best at this very worrying time. Take care Love Tina xx

Hi Debbie....big hugs to you xxx It is so much to take in a deal with....i think you are amazing already back to work.....just make sure you pace yourself. I felt just like you do...i hated being on my own and got very anxious...and yes because we look ok people expect us to be...it is very hard!!!Angiogram ..when i had mine it did not hurt at all....but it does not stop you worrying about it does it. You have alot happening at the moment with your Sons wedding and your holiday etc. Please take care Love and hugs Tina xx

I too was told to take Ibuprofen and asprin when i left hospital. I was told to take the small dose of asprin for 6 months. Which i did. I still take the odd Ibuprofen and asprin now to help bad pain....was told to take together....i did check with my GP about this. I have low blood pressure and low cholesterol. Always check with your GP or Consultant as we are not medics.

Not silly Perry...not silly at all....thank you and take care xx

Thank you Donna xxxx

Fantastic news John At last....lets hope the outcome will be all good! Take care love Tina xx
