On June 6th I was...(more added)
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2014 8:35 am
diagnosed with having multiple(4) brain aneurysms. There are 2 large, 1 medium and 1 small, 3 are on the right side of my brain and 1 on the left side. On July 8th I had an Cerebral Arteriogram the 1 large and 1 medium are on the same major artery, the other large is on another major artery ,the test also shows they have wide necks(if I understood right they are the hardest to coil). I have to have 2 surgeries because the nersurgeon said it is not good to mess with 2 major arteries in one surgery. My first surgery is going to be on July 29th. My nerosurgeon is going to stent and coil the large and medium that are on the same artery during that surgery.
What sent me to the doc in the first place is my sister 2 years younger died from a burst aneurysm in Nov. 2013. She/We did not know she had one. So along with that the headache and the swishing noise that started in my left ear about 5 months ago my family doc sent me for tests.
My sister's last words were "Ow, I have a headache". The nerosurgeon seems to think I have had them for awhile. I have had symptoms and didn't know it. The aneurysms getting larger have caused some of the symptoms to get worse and it sucks.
Sometimes it seems impossible to make a simple decision, it is so frustrating. I cry over the silliest things like I can't decide which color background to use for a layout, hell it takes me 4 or 5 days to finish one. It is taking me forever to type this because I have to keep fixing it.lol My eyes go blury off and on, I get weak, dizzy, shaky the list goes on.
I'm terrified. I need lots of prayers and good thoughts please.
Thank all of you so much for your prayers and caring thoughts. It means the world to me to have my cherry friends standing beside me. Love you Ladies...
