I’m recovering now from a ruptured brain aneurysm, brain bleed, and leakage of my spinal fluid. I was at work and experienced the worst pain in my head I’d ever felt. I knew immediately my life was in danger. My coworker called 911, and I was rushed into surgery. The surgery lasted 8 hours (with 2 surgeons working on me at the same time). I was in the hospital and rehab for a month, and I’ve been home less than 2 months. I have good and bad days, but I know that I also had angels watching over me. I’m saying this so that ppl will think twice about giving up, and to say that I believe God saved me for a reason. Please keep fighting your fight, and hang in there when you feel like giving up. Take it from somebody who has wanted to give up many times. You got this! Fight the good fight. Be blessed 🙏🏾

I've had a brain aneurysm July 2017 was a normal day at night had a terrible headache that was the last thing i remember my parents called 911 was rushed to the hospital where I got a emergency brain operation was in a coma for a week then I woke up made full recovery thanks to my guardian angle and my parents for acting fast i do remember when i had the headache i took a hand full of baby aspirins I don't know if that might help me or made it worse but I'm sitting here today with no problems again thank whom ever was watching me that day the only thing that i suffer from is mild depression taking medicine and doing very good some days but still get depressed thinking about the day my life changed before the aneurysm rupture i was doing drugs like coke and weed now I'm about a year sober only a drink some days to let my mind rest, well gtg wish me luck, thanks for reading my little story bye...
