Dr.'s Visit

Brief n to the point...because I did this once before and lost it.. ;0(Mick has his sched. test today and Dr. appt. ... Cat scan came back no change good or bad...same from 2 weeks ago. Dr. said on the 24th they will go in and stent both annuerysms but as 1.. it will connect with 1 stent size about 5mm wide to 22-28mm long. he said this procedure should not increase symptoms anymore than what he is already experiencing. The 3rd surgery will be coiling of the small Annuerysm which he said symptoms could increase. This is a change of plans from 2 weeks ago when we met last. He said that the reason they are doing it this way is because stenting and coiling at same time is too much of risk for complications because the stent has a tendency to pull the coiling out...(something like that)... Anyhow, on another note: Mick is still needs to be in care of someone during day, can not lift anything more than 5 pounds and still can not (because his vision comes and goes) allowed to drive. This is the scoop as always we appreciate all prayers and thoughts.
