Went to the surgeon's office on Friday - follow-up on the aneurysm diagnosis and next step.


I've decided to go ahead with the surgery.

Judy I just read this post and everything you have written down truely amazed me. You sound confident with your decision and yet frightened at the same time. I wanted to give you a big hug and let you know that you are a brave person going through a difficult time. I am sure the decision to go forward has not been an easy one. Please know we are all here for you and will be saying prayers for you. Giant hugs your way!

Judy,


It sounds as though you have made the right decision and I know that you have a lot of people (including me) who are wishing the best possible outcome for you! You are a strong person and your talk with the surgeon sounds as though you are prepared for the surgery and for the best recovery situation.


Please do keep us posted and know that we are sending you cyber hugs, prayers,

I think being scared is the most natural thing

Judy, I couldn't remember who it was who was having neurosurgery and who was going to have knee surgery (and how are you doing, Erin?).

Judy, thank you for sharing your decision with us. It does sound like you made the right decision and you DO have a long life ahead of you. Much better to get it taken care of before it gives you trouble. How fortunate you found a good doctor that you like and have complete confidence in. You are perfectly normal for feeling scared. But with all the love, prayers, hugs, and support here at the board, there cannot be any other outcome but a perfect one.


Hey...you will have short hair like me for awhile!

I'm not sure how anyone could not be scared but it seems like you've put a lot of thought into your options and to your decision. I'm so glad that you have a doctor that you have confidence in, such an important thing. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way.

Hugs,

Susan
