Thanks me2you xx yep definitely a rollercoaster. My youngest son works all over the world and he is coming home.....i joked "the things i have to do to get to see you" lol black humour carries us all through. I will be on here giving you an update as soon as i am able. How are you progressing with yours?

I have to have a angiogram on the 18th September which I'm not looking forward to I am the biggest coward out lol spoke to surgeon on phone now not in person still and told me I will need surgery and he will see me in clinic after I've had angiogram so still a bit of a wait.

You definitely need a sense of humour to get through this and it's lovely your son is coming home 🏡 x

Dont be afraid the angio is not that bad honest just weird xx well looks like you will be sorted soon. I had angio on 2nd july the clinic apt on 7th july and my pre op on 18th july. I would have had my op soon after but they lost me off the system again....i seriously think someone who works there must have a grudge against me ive been lost that many times lol ive got everything crossed for you too xx

Glad to hear. I'm sure the nerves are ramping up but wish you the very best. I had my aneurysm clipped on 17th and it has been much better than I feared. Easier now as know what I'm dealing with. Wishing you well and a speedy recovery. This all hanging over you is horrible and I can't wait to get back to normal.
