About two summers ago, during an angiogram for a blocked artery an anyersum was found in my 65 year old mother's brain. They said if it burst, she'd be dead before reaching the hospital. They had to clip it before they could deal with the other blockage.
Needles to say, I had lots of concerns about a 65 year old woman who has taken very little care of herself over the years coming out of the operation alive. And when you think about what they had to do, enter her brain, get behind her eye sockets and clip something that could burst at any moment. It was awfully stressful and I lost a lot of sleep in the weeks leading up to it.
She survived the surgery and recovery was slow. She was six weeks or so before she could be on her own. At times, I wondered if she would ever be her old self.
I am thinking of you and your family. There are those of us who have been there, Good Luck and keep us posted.
