[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 296779, member: 3444"] Suz, those imaging techs NEVER reveal anything -- liability issues, whatever. And I was in the waiting room 'cuz we had difficult child 2 with us, so I couldn't charm the tech into telling me what he/she thought, look over their shoulder, etc. Besides, if it was still rice-sized, I doubt I'd even be able to see it. I couldn't see it on husband's post-op MRI which we got a copy of, either. Like I said, I'm sure the neuro will call immediately if there's any sense of urgency over the matter. Worst case, it's grown and we'd have to consider another surgery (gulp). But we have lots of time to make a decision even if that were the case (and I'm really hoping it's not). It's not like an aneurysm that could blow at any minute. These things a notoriously slow leakers. Some do nothing for years and years and years. And husband has been very careful to not take ANY medications, OTC or otherwise, that could potentially raise his BiPolar (BP) or thin his blood and contribute to a bleed. It's just another hurry-up-and-wait thing... Star, it would not surprise me if they came out and said "We're so sorry Mrs. Gvc, but it appears your husband's brain has dissolved and dribbled out the far end." :hammer: Would 'splain a lot, Lucy...
