Tale of Two Birthdays


ADTARIQ

While on the freeway driving home after working out in the morning, enjoying my birthday spa massage gift at noon and looking forward to my birthday dinner (which was planned for that evening), I felt a "pop" in the back of my head near my neck. My vision went crazy and my head felt like it was about to explode. Fortunately, I was able to slowly keep driving, make it the rest of the way home about 7 miles and have my husband get me to the hospital.

 

From there, I don't remember much until I woke up in NICU at the local hospital about 36 hours later hooked up to many machines and surrounded by loved ones who had been told I may not make it, and if I did that I would likely not ever be the same. I spent 11 days in NICU and was given the best care by their wonderful, talented staff.

 

After that, it was home for a year long recovery and 18 months medicine for pain. During that time, I endured CT scans, MRI's and a terrifying pan-cerebral angiogram. I also spent time with a therapist with whom I could talk freely about what happened to me and what I was feeling as a result.

 

Three years later, here I am ... alive, healthy and knowing that I am blessed and highly favored. God is good ... All the time!!! "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thy own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct thy paths".

Welcome to BTG AD,

 

Sorry but I have a tendency to shorten names.

 

My Surgeon said to me "No Stress" so I always pass it on.

 

It's a long haul but we made it so once more, Welcome to BTG and hope you get better every day

 

Regards

Wow! Your story really resonated with me.

My birthday is March 26 and my re-birthday is March 28.

Two days after my 40th birthday this year, I suffered an NASAH just prior to going out for my birthday dinner. Needless to say we didn't make it for dinner and it will be a birthday I will never forget :)

 

Thanks for sharing!

Alison

God is Good....

But did you have surgery to repair the bleed.

I had a SAH on June 28 2017 and I'm scared that it will happen again because of no surgery

 

Thanks,

Melissa
