Well, that was a horrible experience. Anyway, it was soon over and I'm feeling fine. There was only minor thickening of the artery walls, so I am all clear to go ahead and have the operation now. They did the angiogram through my wrist artery, Most people have it through the groin area, but they did not want to hit the aneurysm so decided to go through the wrist. I felt it all the way up to my shoulder!!!
Sylvia stayed with me overnight last night, just in case the incision in my artery started to bleed again. But it didn't, all is healed and apart from a plaster over the incision I feel fine.
Now I have just had a phone call from Mr Northeast, the vascular surgeon who will be doing my operation and I have to go and see him on Monday 12th Sept to discuss the next step. This is where I start to get cold feet!!! Do I really need this operation? I am feeling fine these days. But I suppose it is because I am so well that the operation will have a better chance of success. Better not to wait till I feel ill again.
