Hi Fern,
I know exactly how you are feeling and I sympathise. I had an SAH in January 2012. The scans showed I also had a small unruptured aneurysm. Some months later they offered to coil it and gave me all the scary statistics. I decided to have it done so that I wouldn't have to keep on worrying about it. My husband pointed out that if I didn't have it coiled I could end up having another SAH several years later and would then be having to recover from the effects of the bleed when much older than last time.
I had it coiled just before Christmas and I am so glad I did. I felt so happy and relieved when I came to afterwards. As the doctor said when she woke me up "There, you can put it all behind you and get on with life now".
I suppose they do have to give you the statistics but it does make it scary.
I felt fine afterwards, just a bit tired, but nothing like recovering from the SAH.
Wishing you all the best.
Jane
