Title: Good news, bad news.......
Post by: tnflower on January 28, 2012, 12:05:09 EST
Last week I had an angiogram done for carotid arteries, the sonargram says 60-79 percent blockage and the angio would determine the exact number.
Good news, the angio shows less than 30% blockage of carotid arteries. Bad news, they found a brain anurysm. I've got an app with a Neurosurgeon Monday at 10:00 AM.
 
As some of you might remember, my sister passed away on the operating table during an anurysum repair.  Sure could use some prayers boys and girls.

Iris - my mother has had surgery on her carotid artery twice. Trust in your doctors.  I work with a woman in her early 40's that had a brain anerysum burst 3 months ago. The MRI she had last week shows complete recovery.  Trust in your doctors - God will guide them. You have my prayers and anything else you need. I love you.

Wow.  Sorry they found so much wrong but glad they found it all now rather than later.  Please get well soon.

It is much better to know about it while you are still able to tell us about it than it would be after you are gone. That's good news and means they can fix it. We love you, Iris.

Well, I'm sure that is quite unnerving to say the least. That's one thing I haven't had.......yet. Just keep up your faith and you will be fine, for sure.  

I've found that the more relaxed I keep myself, the better I feel. If that means finding a distraction, reading, working, well then whatever. I don't do well when I ponder too much. But, one thing I do know is that for all of the times I've been in the hospital I've always walked outta there just fine (albeit with a new scar).

I'm sure you will be fine, but for your comfort please remember that there are a lot of friends that are praying for you, Iris. Keep us posted, honey.
