New here ..... not new other places

[GPer]

Hello everyone:

I'm a aneurysm extreme. I'm not supposed to be alive but I am. I'm not even supposed to be able to type but I can. I knew I had a aneurysm but I didn't know what a aneurysm even was. It ruptured in my brain, after rupture it was 2.2 cm (huge in the brain).

So, I had a major heart attack followed by a ruptured aneurysm then 2 hemorraghic strokes. I know all this only through doctors as I have major memory loss. I've recovered enough to amaze all doctors and I've recovered enough to want to help others understand. Most of you reading this won't ever have anything like this happen to you. I'm here to help others. Mimi asked me to come here and share and maybe help someone. I didn't share a whole lot, just what got me here .... it was a long struggle just to recover, but I did. I can walk, talk, write and do most anything, I've even gotten the ok to drive but I haven't taken the tests yet ..... it doesn't seem important anymore.

So, hello everyone.

Anyway ..... I'm with a special group of brain aneurysm survivors that email each other from all over the world, Minnesota to Australia. If I can get people answers to questions from these survivors, many of them nurses or professionals or were this will help this place grow. I'm willing to do that.
