Angioplasty

Hope everyone is well and staying safe.

It's a while since I have posted on here.

Still on HU and angralide and recently my platelets had got to 340.

Last few weeks have been a bit of a nightmare . Long and short of it I had what I thought was a serve migraine and unfortunately it was an an anyeurism..very small . Not caused by clotting but a weakness in my artery.

First time in hospital and two procedures had a flow diverted to seal anyeurism.

I'm now a week out of hospital recovering slowly and steadily . It's the biggest shock I've had and I was overwhelmed and still am slightly being honest. So I'm concentrating on my recovery and as they say small steps.

I hope people are staying safe and I am thankful for our wonderful Nhs and key workers.

Upwards and onwards.

Wow, thank goodness you were treated successfully. I bet you were terrified of being in hospital. Like you say baby steps for now after all the world has to get itself on its feet slowly as well xx

Hi Heather , , , what a shock that must of been , you make it sound quite straight forward but I'm sure there was a bit more to it and as you say these unexpected events which require immediate action can affect you more mentally afterwards as you don't have too much time to dwell on them beforehand. Wishing you all the very best and a speedy recovery though I guess it will be a measured recovery , small steps as you say.

It does sound like quite a shock and it’s quite natural to feel overwhelmed. Please take the time to rest and recover quickly.

Goodness, what a shock. Take it slowly -the shock alone will take time to get over.

Understandable you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’ve had a stressful few weeks, and a lot to come to terms with.

Sending best wishes your way. Xx
