Bro In Hospital

Here is an update on my brother's condition. He posted this on Facebook 22 hours ago -

!Attended out of hours clinic yesterday with severe back pain. The GP referred me to a vascular surgeon immediately and before I knew it I was being admitted - with a massive arterial embolism - the surgeon wanted to operate straightaway. He was blunt and clear. Without the op I could die if it burst, at the same time making it clear that this ranked in the top four ops in order of difficulty. Hobson’s Choice. Within four hours I was under the knife and to make matters worse I had suffered a severe bleed around the aneurism. Six units of blood were used.

Typing this is an indication that I survived, thanks to a brilliant Consultant Vascular Surgeon. But there is a long way to go with a number of possible complications. Don’t want to think about those too much - the post operative pain is enough for now...."


So thankfully it has been caught in time and thank goodness that surgeon moved so fast. I am so thankful for his experience. I love my bro too mucg to loose him now.
