Hey all -
Well one month later from embolization coiling at MGH, by Olgivy, surgery was done in 2 hours. I don't really remember much of the stay there, and really only remember that neuro surgeon coming in to remove the sheath in my femoral, weird weird, weird! I go for follow up w/Dr. O next friday. He told my boys it went 'better than expected'.
I came home had some strange visual experiences, after a couple of days, that went away. A few days of bad depression, now on noritryptline, 50 mg, 2 BID, and see a neurologist for pain in my r occipital lobe , aka occipital neuralgia, which is unrelated to the annie, however, I know when it started an how, but nobody believes me, and that totally sucks.
I am good, tho, back to work, part time, but I find myself NOT even wanting to remember this or even talk about it, ppl freak out. I did contact my long lost friend, who is a 22 yr survivor of annie and was coma for a long time, plus rehab, she is incredible.
Tom, thank you for my gift, you are sweet.
I hope everyone is well, and am planning to go to some support groups, might be better in person, Jamie thanks for the phone call too!!!
