I Survived A Ruptured Brain Aneurysm. (AKA - Brain Injury)

This Blog is aimed at life after surviving a brain aneurysm that ruptured. Some of the things I’ll cover are how my health and lifestyle have changed. The Brain Aneurysm, (aka) Cerebral Aneurysm or Brain Injury, is an uphill struggle to get back to being somewhat normal again; but it can be done.

Interesting Brain Aneurysm Articles

I came across another good article today in the Wikipedia (an online encyclopedia) on Treatment of Brain Aneurysms. I was extremely lucky in that I didn't need the clipping of the aneurysm. I do have the coils, known as GDCS, they refer to and they do have a tendency to promote a headache every now and again, but I can deal with it.

I didn't get a chance to talk to any of the survivors of the Subarachnoid_Hemorrhage or -SAH- ,while I was in ICU, but I did meet a couple of of survivors that had their skulls split open to clip the ruptured aneurysm. I thank God and my lucky stars that I didn't have to go through that procedure.

Anyhow, the links above go to the Wikipedia site that has some very good information about the dreaded Cerebral Aneurysm, -- Brain Injury --. I'm going to keep this post short because I've had a very long night. Another side effect of the coils is they sometimes produce a sickly feeling head problem. Sort of like having to much cheap wine.

So much for today. Everyone take care and stay healthy.
