Quick Update

Post by Cadden »

I'm going to be out of commission until further notice. Long story short, I am in the hospital due to what was originally thought to be a bleeding aneurysm. As it turned out, it was a bleeding vein, which they were able to fix up without surgery. However, they did detect an anomaly that they want to follow up on.

Apparently, my brain's vein structure is what you would expect to see in an elderly person; for someone if 30 it's unusual to see it as "twisty" as it is. So... gotta wait and see.

So, I don't know when, exactly, I'll be back in the swing of things. A week, at the earliest. I'll post again when I know more.

An update for those not in the loop:

The anomaly they discovered is a sessile aneurysm. It's rather small (2mm out of the critical 6mm), but considering, it's worth doing something about. We opted for surgery, scheduled for... some time... Friday. Recovery time in hospital is 4-6 days, followed by 4-6 weeks at home.

It's not at a critical stage to deal with it, but we decided it's worth dealing with anyway, and just eliminate a potential time bomb now.

So I don't know when I'll be back to posting, yet, but that's where this is at.

Now that things have settled a bit, I'm going to provide a short update.

Surgery went good. As Nich relayed in the other thread, here, apparently the aneurysm was what had bled, but as it was detected as an abnormality they couldn't tell till they operated, or something, I'm not sure on the details.

Recovering just fine, though, and if everything goes well I should be outta here on Monday. Won't be back to posting for a bit, still, though, as further recovery time will be necessary, but there you guys go.

Yes, we've been back home since Monday afternoon/evening. Aside from a follow-up on this coming Tuesday, nothing immediate scheduled. Still recovering, but I'll see if I can muster up a post sometime in the next few days to at least nudge things along a little. Obviously no guarantees, and I'm not expecting anyone to be in a rush, so don't wait up on me.I'll push my stuff along as I can. :)

Obviously this is a little more of a priority than keeping my story running. But I'll do what I can, with what brain power I have at my disposal (which, frankly, really depends on a variety of factors).

Glad to hear you're recovering well Cadd. Stories, as you said, will still be here when you are feeling better. From the look of your pics, you look like you went a few rounds with a Rancor.

Get well soon

Hey Steve, hit me up on Facebook or something. I know you don't have a lot of time but if you get the chance please do. I'm confused by your messages. I'll ask ya a few questions too. No hurry mate but figured I'd put it here cause you'll check here.

At this time Steve is back in the hospital. They are saying it's either another clot or pneumonia.

The root is multiple clots in the lungs. Overnight (at least) stay in hospital to deal with them as the doctor coordinates with the ones that worked on surgery. It's likely to just be an overnighter, this time, and hopefully I'll just stay here this time. :?

A little update:

One clot found in the leg, multiple in the lung(s?). 2-3 days in hospital as they administer treatments. Fun times. BUT we're staying in town this time, at least. So there's a little bit of good news in this, at least.

You just wanted to swing for the fences, didn't you?

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Cadden. I'm sure everything will be fine.

Yeah, I was just thinking earlier, "I really should go back to the hospital for some reason. I don't think I got quite enough if it the first time...." :rolleyes:

My dad was the same way though, he just said he didn't feel right and he had the same thing you did. They put him on blood thinners for about 6 months and now he is right as rain

Just got released, but full recovery won't be for a good week or so, plus a lot of waiting as my medications take care of things for the next 3 months (running estimate). Fingers crossed I'm done, now.... :?

We're considering a trip next week, but otherwise I'm all done, for three time being.
