Karen Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Donna, I have a neck left on my aneurysm ..... I'm still here, alive and kicking at over 3 years post SAH .... I can understand that this news can be more than a little bit daunting to come to terms with, but from what I've read, the neck would have to have grown to a fair size to be a threat to any of us. The main thing is, that we're going to be monitored ..... whatever you do, don't let it hold your recovery back and keep moving forward, as you can waste so much precious time worrying about it ..... I learnt the hard way with that one ..... I'm due back for my next scan in 2010 ... and will take it from there as to what needs doing to it, if anything....xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna79 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Thankyou Karen funny enough i am calm they know its there so to me thats good because they are monitering and if any changes then they will coil it x x which she said is less traumatic and is done over 1-2 days xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Donna, that's good to hear ..... I'm so glad to hear that you're calm and feeling okay about it ...... the main thing is, that they'll monitor you and like you say, if it needs coiling, they'll do so ... and yes, it's not traumatic and unlike having another SAH .... which causes huge problems etc. V.proud of you! ..... and you sound like a different person to the one that I met a few months ago ..... as I said, I also have a neck that they couldn't coil, but I'm still experiencing recovery and life has improved greatly .... xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myratas Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi Donna, You certainly sound a lot better, it's good that you will be monitored and they can keep an eye on things. I feel that you should only go back to work when you are really ready. I am happy that things are looking up for you. Myra xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennissmithy Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Donna, Gosh you have changed so much over the last month or so. At least (not that that sounds like much compensation) you will get regular scans to monitor it. Love and hugs Laura xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
