Aneurysm Surgery all done

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it has taken me so long to put a post up regarding my surgery. Unfortunately it didn't go as easy as I expected. I was first cab of the rank for surgery but that was were the good ended. I went in had surgery, then after approximately 6 hrs Kev hadn't heard anything so he decided to go and try and find out something, and he was told I had complication and had gone back into surgery again. The surgeon told hubby I was taking too long to wake up, so he sensed something was wrong, when I came too I couldn't talk and I was paralyzed on my whole right side, the clip they had put on my aneurysm had moved crimping the main artery to my brain for 90 mins, causing a stroke. My surgeon had only seen the symptons once before so he decided to go back in again, lucky he did, I am still here.

It is 4 weeks to the day and I am grateful to say I have all my faculties back, it will be a while before I can go gung ho on the farm but I am staying positive. My family especially my hubby have been through enough so I hope this is the last of the dramas and I can finish my bc treatment in peace.

Cheers to you all
