I had my first appointment at the gamma centre yesterday. The staff there seem really nice, and actually listened to me, which was good. They told me that as I don’t live far from the hospital I can go to the hospital, be admitted and checked over, then at the night come home to sleep in my own bed if I want to, so log as I’m back for 7am the next morning for my treatment. I’m on a waiting list now. I’ve been offered a general anaesthetic because I don’t cope with hospitals very well. This means I’d be asleep for the frame fitting, the MRI, the angio, the gamma knife and removal of the frame afterwards. I’m not sure what I think about being knocked out for so long, but not sure if I can cope with all these things being done to me. It’s a bit of a dilemma. I’ve got a history of discharging myself from hospital when it all gets too much. I have a personality change, and become the patient from hell. I wish there was an easy answer.
