Hi Bart and welcome home! The day after surgery I started having the visual aura that I used to get at the start of a migraine headache. I had had the same thing after a cardiac cath once too. It however did not progress into a headache. I mentioned it to my surgeon one night and he asked me to explain it more fully to him. I told him that I could only really see bits and pieces of his face and alot of his body was just zig-zag lines. He said that sometimes cardiac surgery could start a cascade of migraines and he wanted me to start taking imitrex at the very first visual signs I had. He sent me home with a RX for 90 imitrex and several refills. I have used a few of them and within 10-15 minutes my vision is back to normal. I had never taken imitrex before this.

It is GREAT to hear from you. You give me hope for whenever I go in. I was wondering if the drugs they would give would make your dreams alittle wierd. When my husband had a tumor removed from his pituitary gland his drugs were, Shall we say POWERFUL
