A Brain Aneurysm and me.

I had an interesting situation the other day at my doctors office. I've got a very sore sholder from old age, strain, who knows. The doctor wanted to run me through an MRI tube. ***"How The MRI Works": *** to see if maybe I had a splinter or something. He had forgotten that because of the brain aneurysm blowing I now have a coiled up ball of metal in my head.

I don't actually know if the high magnetic force generated by the MRI machine would pop the ball of metal through my skull but I'm not willing to take that chance.

Anyhow, the look on his face was funny when I reminded him of the little problem I thought might happen if I was slid into the MRI tube. I guess my point here today is, be sure to let your doctor know if you think their idea might not be the best in the world.

If they take offense to it then maybe you might want to look for another doctor that's willing to treat you and not his/her ego.

Being diagnosed with a brain aneurysm is frightening

A brain aneurysm, aka, a brain injury, scares the hell out of just about everyone. Think about it for a minute. Your brain controls everything you do.

• Talk
• See
• Walk
• Sit
• Stand
• Think

The list is almost never ending. This brain aneurysm blog is intended to show you how I try to deal with a lot of the things that most just take for granted. I did before my blowout. Have you ever given it a thought or do you think that a brain aneurysm "Happens to the Other Guy. Not Me!"

I had a very rude wakeup call when my brain aneurysm blew. That kind of stuff doesn't happen to me; Joe down the block maybe, but not me.

Knock- Knock- wake up. I was very lucky that circumstances were just so and everything fell into place. Timing is so critical. If fate steps in and blocks the ambulance or a doctor isn't quite that familiar with what a brain aneurysm is, then you are in trouble.

A brain injury such as the "Brain Aneurysm" resembles a stroke and it's very easy for the medicals to misdiagnose the problem causing unnecessary delays.
