on oct 13th i had surgery at the univeristy of illinois in chicago (UIC).  The surgery took 10 hours. But I had a MRI the night of my surgery and a angiogram the next day and everything looks great!  I was very very pleased with the staff at UIC. THe nurses were excellent! They didnt rush me out of the hospital. I was there tues-sunday.  I did attle migranes with full syptoms like visulal disturbances and a sick stomach for the first 4 days.  Iam getting numbness once and a while in my hands and some facial. i hope that stops! has anyone had numbness after surgery. I only last a few minutes.

Great news - thanks for posting an update.  You have been in my thoughts and prayers, and I'm so happy to read that things went so well for you.
