I think I am speaking on behalf of the rest of the family, but after meeting with the local surgeon, there has been a tad bit of ease to our step. He explained to us that there's a 6% chance that anyone of us can develop a brain aneurysm. With where we are standing with mom (again, without him looking at any pictures to date), there's a 1% chance that this thing can turn bad. That percentage increases 1% for each additional year we do nothing. So as of right now, that is .2%.
We received word from UCSF yesterday that they are ready to receive us up there, but we are still waiting on the insurance to improve the referrals. The doctor(s) that we are going to see take new patients on Thursdays, so it's looking like it'll be a next Thursday before we can get up there and do an Angiogram.
I'll be able to meet Mom & Dad up there... actually, they will meet me as I'll already be up there for a conference. It's just a matter of getting things approved with the insurance. Looks like I'll be talking with Alice today!
We continue to wait.
