bogbrush Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi everyone Good news I went to the neuro clinic today and got the "mostly" clear from the neurosurgeon. I say "mostly", because I will need another catheter angiogram next year and possibly further MR angiograms in the future to check on the coils. I have also seen all of my angiogram pictures, including the ones taken prior to coiling. I found them facinating and I will try to get copies. The neurosurgeon said that the latest angio pictures look good, the artery and aneurism having been completely occluded. Only 4 coils, Sami. Can't beat your 9. I also found out that my SAH was grade 4 (highest) on the CT scan (Fischer grade) and initially grade 2, progressing to grade 3 or 4 on the clinical (Hunt & Hess) scale. Anyway, he is very happy with my recovery and does not need to see me again. He will just write to me after my next angiogram.

Louise Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Brilliant news Keith It's a great feeling isn't it. Take care Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hey Keith Thats good news. Well at least you beat me on the bleed scale - mine was only a 2! I know Annie, but people keep telling me that I'm lucky to come out of it as well as I did and that they would never believe it was only three months ago. I remember getting ready to go for the first time with the girls after my SAH and I put the CD player on and the first song that played was Can't Get You Out of My Head - Kylie!!!! The next one was Toxic by Britney Spears!!! My daughter had been using the CD player - I'll been expecting Coldplay, Red Hot Chilli Peppers or The Calling!!! Anyway, glad everything went ok. Take care Love Sami xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
