Hi Carol ,
I was told that they are almost 100% occluded . I have still not made any definate decisions about surgery VS just waiting and seeing what will happen . I have been fortunate and have not had any more TIA'S I have only had a few ... nor have I had a stroke . I do take a serious of drugs each day without fail. Plavix has done well for me . I still maintain a busy an active lifestyle.I even workout 4 to 5 days a week in the hope that when I do become pregnant it will be helpful for me and the baby .I am glad everything worked out for your family. I would love to hear about your experience with the surgery . I am still not sure if I can go thru the surgery....I was to the point of having it and cancelled it about 5 min before it was to begin .I am not sure if I will or can get to that point again. I would appreciate any encouragement you may have .
Take care
Karen
