bogbrush Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Many people ask what happens at follow up appointments and what questions to ask. Here's a few to start off with: Size/location/type of aneurysm[/*:m:15fam1ck] Grade of SAH[/*:m:15fam1ck] Frequency of follow-up scans etc.[/*:m:15fam1ck] Number of coils[/*:m:15fam1ck] Likelyhood of problems with coils compacting etc.[/*:m:15fam1ck] Likelyhood of problems due to artery occlusion (I had the whole artery blocked off)[/*:m:15fam1ck] Write them down before you go so you don't forget anything. Any more? Regards Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I asked what my GCS was as always heard it in causalty. Mine ranged from 13-15 ish. Which give me incentive as Richard Hammond was 3 and he's doing amazingly. (Don't quote me on Stats as I'm working from Memory) Should your family get checked. My Neuro said no its not Hereditary but I know there are mixed views on this. Aine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aly Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Hi All, When I visited my GP he strongly recommened getting my boys screened as it is on both sides of my family, which I was unaware of until after my op. He suggested when I visit the neurosurgeon I enquire about this, this appointment should come through at anytime as its 5 weeks tommorow since I was operated on, so I will keep you all posted. Regards and best wishes to all Alyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
