My wife, a regular recreational diver, has just been operated for a
cerebral aneurysm.
She spent 12 days in intensive care after the long surgery and is now in
a normal hospital room due to be released in a few days.
According to the doctors she was operated in time and there will be no
after effects once she has convalesced. One of the advantages of living in a big city where you can quickly get to a major hospital with neurologists on standby.
That made me think:
Will she be able to dive again normally once fully recovered?
What would be a typical safe period to start diving again?
Now I already consulted DAN and they gave her neurologist contact information for medical diving specialists as obviously each case is individual.
What I want at the moment is a ball-park figure.
1 months, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, never.....
Anyone been through a similar situation?
