@SW-User I am on meds for my BP that I'll have to be on probably for life but I've made a full recovery at this point. My right back vertebral artery is torn and there's an aneurysm lodged in it It's too close to my brain to operate on. It's too risky so I live with it and we monitor it on a regular basis with my neurologist and neurosurgeon. I pray I don't ever have to get that surgery because if I do the odds are not good for me

@SW-User thank you, I work really hard to keep my health in line. I don't ever want to end up in the hospital again like that. I'm very very lucky I went in right away It's the only reason I'm still standing today

@Mellowgirl crazy thing is they think it happened because of an old neck injury I had and my BP raised and dropped rapidly and it dislodged a piece of the aneurysm I didn't even know was there as I didn't even know I had a torn artery.

@SW-User oh my frigging goodness that is sooo scary. I'm so glad you're OK.
@SW-User Terrifying! You seem to have a healthy attitude regardless. Don't allow stress into your life if you can help it
