Thanks, Eddie. I scheduled my surgery for June, but I'm rethinking that decision. I read on the Forum that surgery can be very risky if the aneurysm is too small. So I;m going to watch it for a few months to see if it is growing.
There is always a danger when ever surgery is to be done, but then so can a splinter. Be assured that surgical techniques today are far different and better from those that were done even 10 years ago. Because you haven't ruptured yet, you are in much better physical condition then someone who did rupture. My wife did 18 years ago, she was clipped and survived but she has residual cognitive issues mainly due to the rupture.
When surgery time comes, the best advice I can give aside from having all of your legal documents in order such as durable power of attorney, will, and medical power of attorney, and living will, is to have someone preferably a family member or members watching over you very closely in the hospital and making sure all sterile procedures are maintained. By having someone who knows you and your pecularities (we all have them) so that any unusual changes van be reported and acted on immediately.
Thanks so much for your answer to my question. Do you know if there is any danger in clipping a 3.2mm aneurysm? I have a scheduled surgery date for June 20th but I'm terrified but at the same time, I am very nervous waiting.
