As mentioned in previous post, the surgery for the aneurysm repair was scheduled for Feb. 5. Unfortunately no one thought to tell the aneurysm! An uneasy feeling sent me to the emergency room on January 25th,the vascular team was notified; and I was in surgery in a half hour. Certainly not the ideal pre-op situation, but I am most grateful to the Doctors and excellent staff at VGH for their quick response and excellent care during my stay.
I am now at home and making good progress down the recovery road, although breifly interrupted by a bout with the flu. Found that more difficult to get over than the surgery!
It has been astounding to me the amount of support, prayers and hugs that have come from all of you”BC’ers” to a “triple A’er”/ BC’er, I am most grateful!
The icing on the cake was when I was surprised with a package containing a quilt with warm wishes from Bladder Cancer Canada. It is cherished; and everytime I think I can’t, I have a rest with it and think, Oh hell yes I can!These words are most inadequate, but THANK YOU ALL!
