donna79 Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 how was your holiday x x x x x x x I hated the scanner felt horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennissmithy Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I'm not keen on the scanner either but I just close my eyes and think that i'm lying on a sunbed with the lapping waves around me and just get through it. Its not pleasant though. Can't really imagine many would like it! It was lovely thanks- very peaceful. There were 5 sets of apartments, 1 little shop and a gift shop on the part of the island that we was so very quiet. Lots of relaxing!! Spent a fortune though on food, i ate like a pig!!!!

Skippy Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi Myra I've got coils and i had a scan - can't remember whether it was MRA or MRI - not even sure if there's a difference from a coiling point of view - it's worth asking your consultant why he thinks you can't have a scan with coils.

Shanti Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Donna: I didn't like my MRI scan either. Felt claustrophobic too. Horrible. But like Karen tried to imagine I was somewhere else. Paul came in with me too and I could see him through the mirror they have strategically placed so you can see outside. Myra: I've not long had a MRI scan (6 months post SAH) and I've got coils. Perhaps the consultant meant that they don't do them too early after the coiling operation? Phone and ask your rehab nurse or phone the the consultant's secretary to ask for clarification.

Shanti Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi Donna Hope you get some news soon and that it puts your mind at rest. I know the waiting is horrible.

Karen Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 That's wonderful news Donna ..... you must be thrilled! Just sit back and allow yourself the time to heal ...... really pleased for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanti Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Wonderful news Donna. That must have taken some of the worry off your shoulders. I know you've been very worried about some of the symptoms you've been having, but hang on in there sweetheart. The healing process is long, takes patience and lots of time. You will have all sorts of weird symptoms and feelings, but when you look back in a few months time you hopefully will be amazed at how far you've improved and come since you left hospital. A few months ago I never dreamt I would be without my pirate's patch and would be able to see without double vision out of my right eye, nor that I would be driving short distances and would be going out to shop on my own. We're all here for you whenever you need us. People like Karen and some of the older members on here (in experience not age I hasten to add) have a wealth of experience and knowledge on recovery after a SAH. And never once has anyone posted on here with a query without someone quickly jumping in and offering support. Big hug to you, onwards and upwards, have a lovely day Lesley xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
