After a difficult start- 3 cancellations, my 4th date was on Thursday. I called in on Wednesday…can you call back, they said. So I did…still no bed…Can you come in starved tomorrow morning? So I did.
But what a fantastic outcome! I had embolisation on Thursday. To be told that night in ICU, that they had found a small aneurysm in the AVM - but that it had gone! One onyx embolisation followed by another angiogram while I was still in theatre shows that it has gone!
I was told there was no need for the craniotomy and was able to go home yesterday (Friday)!!!
I have to keep taking my Keppra until I see my consultant in September. 2 weeks off work. No other restrictions (other than lifting) & I’ll have another angio in 6 months…If no new feeders have grown, I’ll be cured!
Feeling amazing and send positive thoughts and good luck to all the others out there
Excellent news perhaps reasons for those delays …mine was similar disapeared by itself these things do happen rare but neverless always a chance.
Take Care
