Sammy- wow, what a story!!! a little similar to mine- except that I had a bleed instead of an anurisim (sorry I can't spell anymore) and I didn't have operations like you- yours sounds much worse. Your little angel was your life saver!! That is awesome.
I had several things that happened to me the morning I had mine and any one of them eaisly could have made the difference in life or death.
I am just 2 years out and it has been a tough road.
I wish you and everyone with a brain injury all the best in the world.
prayers to you!!

I'm so sorry they are not taking your case more urgent. I am hoping you've had it done by now. How are you doing?

I felt like I was in my own world and no one understood. A brain injury is so hard for people to "get".
Are you doing better now?
Holly - My Story

Holly your story is similar to mine. I was working from home (alone) when the worst headache I've ever had (and I've had plenty) but this one was so different. Sounds were different- almost muttled, colors were not the same. Then within minutes of the headache I started to violently throw up and could not stop.
Long story short I was found to have a Non Aneurysm Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. Spent the next 2 weeks in ICU (no memory of any of it at all), then to rehab for a few days. Stayed home for 3 months.
Tried to return to work- after a few months of that I realized I could not remember anything that I could before- asked my neurosurgeion about it and THEN he ordered a neuro-physc evaluation.
I pretty much failed it terribly. I was told that I was not capable of working and should be on full term disabiltiy. So my life has drasically changed.
I do wish you the best.
