FRONTAL ANEURSYM
IT WAS NOVEMBER 25TH 2000. I HAD JUST LEFT THE HOUSE TO GO TO SEE A FRIEND, AND MY WIFE WAS GOING TO CLEAN THE HOUSE. SHE CALL ME AT 3:00 AND ASKED ME TO COME HOME SHE HAD A BAD HEADACHE. WHEN I WALKED IN SHE WAS SITTING THERE IN A DAZE. I THOUGHT SHE HAD A STROKE BUT IT WAS AN ANEURSYM. FROM THAT TIME UNTIL TODAY WE FEEL OUR LIFE IS DESTROYED. SHE HAD SURGERY AND A SHUNT PUT IN. BUT SHE (WE HOPE) A LONG RECOVERY TO GO. IT WAS IN HER INITITAVE AREA SO SHE CAN NOT INITATE MUCH.WE HAVE TO ASK HER IF SHE HAS TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, IF SHES HUNGRY WHAT EVER SHE CANT INITATE MUCH. BUT SHE HAS COME A LONG WAY. AT ONE TIME SHE COULDN'T MOVE HER ARMS OR LEGS OR WALK. NOW SHE CAN WALK WITH A WALKER AND DOES THINGS WE THOUGHT SHE NEVER WOULD. BUT IT HARD BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW HOW HER RECOVERY WILL COME OR IS THIS IT.THE BEST THING WE DID WAS GET HER OUT OF A NURSING HOME SHE WAS IN FOR 4 MONTHS. THAT WAS HELL FOR HER AND US. ANY BODY THAT HAS HAD AN ANEURSYM REPTURE IN THE FRONTAL LOAB I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR GOOD OR BAD THEIR RECOVERY. WE ARE 8 MONTHS IN TO THIS AND STILL CAN'T SEE WHERE SHE CAN LIVE AN INDEPENDENT LIFE. THE DOCTORS WILL NOT TELL US ANYTHING WHERE SHE WILL BE BECAUSE THEY JUST DONT KNOW. BUT EXAMPLES WOULD BE INFORMATIVE AGAIN GOOD OR BAD. WE JUST WOULD LIKE TO HEAR HOW OTHERS HAVE RECOVERED WITH A FRONTAL REPTUER. ( LALETT IS ONLY 51 YEARS OLD) HOW LIFE CHANGES
