After only 3 months form when we found the AVM to now…seems like forever ago. After meeting with my new neuroradiologist after my other one bailed, I am back t at least having faith in my Doctors. THe new guy is super nice and really knows waht he is talking about. He is taking a bit different approach of less is more for the embolization. Just trying to more then anything make the neurosurgeon’s job easier.
Either way, my dad flew down from Virginia to be with me. I haven;t seen him in almost 3 years, and he braved an airplane ( he hasn't flown since 74) to be with me. My family and I are having a special lunch today as a pre surgery happy celebration. So that will be nice. I am so absolutely out of my mine crazy scared/nervous that my own mine and body can;t even process it. So I guess that is a ghood thign becasue it means I am not activly scared.
So Embolization Tomorrow (10/21), and Craniotomy Friday (10/22)
Hope to be out of the hospital by Monday or Tuesday. and I will be glad to let you all know how it went.
Good luck! I had 3 Embolization’s within a 3 month time and surgery day after last one. I was in hospital for 4 days. Could not wait to get out, but to be honestly I should have stayed one more day. Just because they have better pain control. Stay strong.
Sending prayers your way! My daughter did the same thing. Embolization the day before the surgery, mainly to make the surgery safer and easier. Can’t wait to hear that you are through and on your way to recovery.
I will be at your side in loving spirit.
Everything will be just fine. Know that you are in good hands with your neurosurgeons, and will get the best aftercare.
