Array well crap They flew me to Barrow last night. I am sitting here in bed. Robin and I talked with dr Spetzler this morning and he wants to take a vessel out of my arm and totally shut off the basilar artery. I don't know how soon he can do the surgery. I am so scared and don't know what decision to make Score 3 strokes, 4 seizures and 2 brain surgeries
I've had brain surgery, what's your excuse? -
Generally, the solution to fear is good information.
Do a bit of your own research, talk it out with others, know what questions to ask, and possibly get a second opinion. If/when you've found a physician/surgeon with whom you are comfortable, trust in his/her training.
(I'm facing another rather major knee surgery, and that's what's helping me make my medical decisions)
Best of luck with whatever you decide. -

Array So far your doctors have done a good job in keeping you alive despite your body's need to self-destruct. You might want them to take it out of your non-fencing arm. Good luck with whatever option you decide on. We're all pulling for ya! Beer, it's whats for dinner! ~ a young snowboarding Canadian The meek don't want it! ~ sticker on a rock band's guitar -

Array They've got the right idea, yea. Go through all of your options, weigh the pros and cons, and decide what the right one would be. You've done a lot of reading, and a quick search through google or amazon might bring up some past cases, see what other people's experiences were. Check a few blogs as well. It's alright to be afraid. If it helps, I'll save a spot for you in my prayers. Good luck. I have the utmost faith that you'll come through alright. -

Array Nuts its hard to do this on a Blackberry. Anyway, a resident was in last night and they are going to review the films again this morning to see if they can go to a plan B. Keep everything crossed. Good thing I already fence chair. Score 3 strokes, 4 seizures and 2 brain surgeries
