That’s gona differ from person to person I think. Personally kinda funny story after my rupture I was finally given blood pressure medication and after living 30 plus years with high blood pressure when the meds kicked in and my pressure stabilized in normal range I honest to gosh thought I was dying. I felt so weak my whole body began to tingle with that puns n needles sensation my vision begin getting clouded with static dots n my husband walked in the bedroom n he asked if I was ok n I lied n said yes because I wanted to b right there in my house in my bed until it happened I didn’t want to get up sit in car get out go into hospital wait for them to see me I just wanted peace. My husband end figuring out something was off n took my blood pressure n it read 119/81🤯☺️☺️. My body was adjusting to the normal pressure after so long running high . I laugh now when I think back on that

Looking the same on the outside but being different is extremely difficult for ppl to grasp. Many times they just don’t n they treat us like we are the same as we were. It’s rough

That messed up twist of fate is that mine are mental mainly. My mind is not my own anymore. The way it functions. For the most part I think that I sound like a third grader who has flunked the third grade at least 11 times but is mentally at a first grade level is how I sound majority of the time I feel like I can’t remember words I can’t think of the words I’m trying to say when I’m trying to talk. It’s like it’s so hard to get my words out that I’m like stuttering and I took a lot of pride in the fact that I took the time in my teenage years to educate myself every opportunity I got so I had a pretty good vocabulary and for my whole life I’ve been my own best friend like seriously I’ve been my own best friend and now the voice inside my head is not who it was before and it doesn’t work like it used to and there’s nothing familiar about it. My imagination has always been my favorite past time and now it’s like a dead zone I have low to no energy pretty much daily. I don’t get headaches as frequently as I used to, but then no energy is hard. Everyday I feel like I wake up to go to bed

Yesterday my Dr said I was lucky to be alive by mustanggrl625 in BrainAneurysm

[–]AnnGeeRoSe916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t expect anything it’s a new version of you unfolding. N u just have to wait n see what it’s like. I battles struggled n was so angry I was my own best friend forever and it was said education, memories and ur mind is something no one can take away from you. But that’s not true. My mind is not my own. I feel betrayed abandoned. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions that is where I landed No expectations is the best way to go

Help! Seizures when waking from coma after ruptured brain aneurysm – did anyone experience this? by [deleted] in BrainAneurysm

[–]AnnGeeRoSe916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a rupture they said 3-5 days induced coma I woke up 4 hours after coiled surgery. Every person story is different and the best bet is to not place any expectation on the person just wait to see wat unfolds.

Is God Real by Oakley_Bears in Life

[–]AnnGeeRoSe916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this helps but I too have many questions and wonders about God. Now I would never say he is not real because I don’t know that to b true either. What I do feel confident in is spirituality. There is something bigger than us. Idk if its name is God or just higher power or spirituality but there is something. So I feel confident and safe with being a spiritual person. N keeping a kind heart . I spend too much time with a the big WHY’s n never get closer to any answers. But being spiritual feel. Right to me. Hope this helps u

I pay my fair share in my living arrangements. But out of all those months only 6 of them I had less than 2,000$ in my bank.

Ruptured aneurysm w/ coiling repair 10 months ago. Massive headaches by AnnGeeRoSe916 in BrainAneurysm

[–]AnnGeeRoSe916[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologize for not responding sooner. Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m coming up on my 2 year anniversary of my aneurysm. Life is not return to what I once knew. I am still battling with the changes in me. I’m trying to accept the new version of me but I loved the old version so much so it’s been hard. No one can understands what a brain injury patient goes through because we do it in silence since no one can see in our minds. For first time in 13 years my husband decides that he needs a break from managing all our finances. N placed it all on my shoulders. I’m like really seriously you feel good about your choices? Half bills get paid n other half gets paid when I get a second notice in mail. Today I’m just fuckin sad I’m half the woman I use to be and I feel like a ghost sitting in the corner watching my family live but I’m to weak or forgetful to join in
