Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @elainerb. I'm glad things moved along quickly for you.

Understandable you'd have medical trauma PTSD with 13 years of surgeries. That's a lot.

If you've not yet seen it, here is some Mayo Clinic information on aneurysm:

- Brain aneurysm https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/brain-aneurysm/symptoms-causes/syc-20361483.

Tagging a few members who may have some information on your questions on scheduling and procedures for aneurysm (or other procedures) at Mayo Clinic @kitspeirs @roch @breick @hsminc @trki @richardhadley. Hoping they can share some useful information and help to put your mind at ease as much as possible.

How are you feeling emotionally today as you approach your surgery? How soon will you have the surgery?
