Hi,
I found out a little over a week ago that I have an 8mm brain aneurysm after a MRI followed by a MRA. I was shocked as the test was for something completely different. I was referred to a Neurologist that can't see me until December 20th. I guess there is no urgency? In the meantime I plan on living my life enjoying family at Thanksgiving, enjoying a planned 7 day caribbean cruise the week after and then a 4 day Walt Disney World trip the first of December. Stress and anxiety changes nothing so try to not let it consume you. I wish you well.

I’m so happy that you are enjoying/planning to enjoy life until your follow up!
My husband did not have an aneurism in his brain, but he is otherwise a very heathy, fit and active person and is having a difficult time understanding why he can’t drive, has to do rehab, etc. After 7 days. He doesn’t remember or feel that what happened to him is real.
I’m sure his normal self will return at some point, just difficult to help him get to that point without some cooperation from him.
He also has an aneurism in an artery near his heart, but that is under the size for treatment, so they are just watching that. Since he just had every test in the world, things there must have not changed. His cardiologist stopped by, and said see you in March as planned.
So, I wonder if there is a size, or location thing that determines how fast they see you?
🙏 for you
