UPDATE
Just got off the phone with SD.....
As suspected, she waited for the surgeon quite a while (he had a couple of 'surprise' surgeries).....
But she DID see him. There is no aneurysm! But there are 2 arteries that are causing the issue.....an enlarged left artery and a too~small right artery in her brain....that's what is causing the issue.
SO they are going to put a stint in her neck to relieve the right artery. She will go back to the surgeon tomorrow to determine when this will happen. She's got some new meds, too, that I think will do her some major good.
Ya know? There is just something about having knowledge that dispels fear.....and now that she KNOWS what is going on, SD's spirts are much better. She sounded so much stronger and more at peace.
She said to say "thank You, everyone".....she appreciates all of Your energy and well wishes so very much!
