Today Mick had his angigram. Was not a normal test. They informed me at 930 that the test was very high risk of a stroke the way they were to perform it. They put a balloon up in an artery close to the anuerysm to block off blood flow to the anuerysm. This process is to see how his brain functions with no blood flow. Said it would take about 2-3 hrs. at least and it took 2.45 min. However, the results was not good. They just started asking him questions (he had to be completely awake) and within 1 minute it was nothing but jibberish. They had to stop the procedure. There hopes was he could handle this type of blockage so they would not have to open his chest and put him on bi-pass. Now they have to go to one of their other plans. The Dr. will come and talk to us at some point during the late afternoon/evening.
In case you are wondering Mick is o.k. other than headaches due to this procedure. Well, enough to ask for a milky way when he seen me.
