Update after flow diverter

Hi after being diagnosed in Jan with 8mm right sided optical aneurysm. I had a flow diverter fitted on the 23rd April discharged from hospital on the 24th. I have been recovering well at home. Still headaches and pain in my eye but a relief to know it has been taken care off. I have to go back next week to have my blood checked as it thinned too much. I am less patient need more rest and couldn’t cope with a full days work but I am going to try a couple of hours for 3 days next week. Just wanted to share my positive story.

So good to hear a positive story like this. Thanks for sharing. I've heard that updated scans at 3 and 6 months can show anyeurism gone after pipeline. Its amazing. How exciting!! Take it easy too let the stent and your body do the work.
