It’s also the first time that I got to see the angiogram images since the coiling procedure. He was informative and wants me back in three months for an MRI to check on the coil and to follow-up on the unruptured aneurysm I still have. He said we’d likely do another angiogram in a year to keep tabs on things. He seemed very happy with my recovery process, as am I. The sudden onset fatigue appears to be par for the course. I might actually be able to go back to work in June. When I mentioned the BAF his eyes lit up and he knew exactly what I was talking about. All in all, it was a very good visit and set my mind at ease a bit.

That’s great news, it was a big process for the Ruptured i experienced back in 2012. Living proof here, you will be better than you were before. It’s a blessing, SAH teach you so much in the recovery time. Best to you.

Thanks! Same. I’m slowly starting to drive a bit, but I don’t go anywhere by myself and I’ve become obsessed with biometric tracking, which I suppose is a positive side affect.

I hit depression. I’m thinking more post, it’s been treated x
Yes , Dr. Laslo Mischolczi Holy Cross Hospital Ft.Lauderdale ,Fl. He did an Embolization Coil of the Anterior Communicating Artery. A very difficult artery to coil in 2012. The artery burst at the bifurcation. The artery is in the frontal lobe and controls so much of everyday tasks. In any rupture recovery is slower than a non rupture . Your going to be great.

Did your Neurosurgeon not come introduce himself whilst you were hanging around listening to all the beeps? I met mine the Monday after she operated. I still remember the entire floor changed. Staff got very busy, I tried to get up out of bed hollering “Officer on deck, officer on deck”
. The wonderful RN had a fight on her hands trying to keep me down, so I tried laying at attention. I may have even tried saluting when she walked to the door. Dr. Q-W had a smile like sunshine, I suspect she was laughing because she did say “At ease sailor”. She asked me how I felt, I told her my synapses were not crossing my corpus collosum correctly. With a surprised look, she did laugh a bit and said I was correct and it would be a long time for my brain to heal.
My first office visit we found out she had been stationed at the hospital as a Naval Neurosurgeon (Tripler Army Hospital in HA) that I was born in. After operating on me, she had flown down to TX to give a speech to some Neurosurgeons on multilobed aneurysms and then that Monday had a gentleman with the same exact type at the same exact location just with fewer daughter cells. How strange is that? I asked her if operating on me helped her speech to her colleagues. Apparently I was more concerned about helping her speech and the guy who ruptured than about what she needed to tell us.
