Hi @mike29 and welcome to the group! We are so glad you are here with us, albeit under these circumstances.
I ruptured, and was left with about a 2 mm aneurysm (PICA), which eventually grew to about 3mm before my neuroradiologist got rid of it (technical term = occluded). Although we have a different experience and different location, I thought perhaps our comparable sizes may be of interest.
During that interim period, admittedly I wasn’t doing too much beyond the life of a typical person, but the only restriction I had was NOT to go whale watching, especially on a zodiac. I tried to look for a video, but it is one of those experience better had in real life to understand. In short, he was concerned that if the ocean was choppy, the ride would be very jarring as you go up a wave, and then are slammed back down over and over. That was it! That was the only thing I could not do, but - as a patient only and not as a medical person - I would guess that they would not want us to do anything extreme at the moment.
Just from memory, one question that frequently comes up regards flying. I just searched our site and found a recent posting from our own dear Moderator, @Moltroub, that might be of help.
Of course, please let us know what we can do to support you as you wait for your neurosurgeon’s appointment. Although most of us can only speak from the patient perspective, we are happy to give you that insight!
