About Me
On Dec. 30, 2007 I had just gone to bed and within minutes I got the worst pain in the top right side of my head. I took my husbands arm and told him there was something wrong with my head, and that was the last thing I remember. I passed out, he called 911 and I was taken to Ogden hospital by ambulance, there after ct scans I was put in medically induced coma and life flighted to SLC, University Hospital. I had a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, (cerebral aneurysm) with what they called a double bleed. The surgeon there told my husband he would do surgery the next morning, because it was a holiday weekend he only had a skeleton crew and I would have better chance with his whole team. I was in surgery seven and a half hours and my family was told I had a 2% chance of surviving this and he may have remove part of my brain. I begin to wake up about two days later and was so confused, I did remember the headache but had no idea what had happen to me. It has been almost five months and now they call me the "miracle woman" I have lost almost all of my memory of 2007, and have short term memory loss but I am blessed! I can walk, talk and can do most things for myself. I still get confused easily, have headaches, and very emotional, cry over anything. My Dr. tells me because this aneurysm was behind my right eye and in the frontal lobe of my brain that all the things I have mentioned are normal. He tells us that this may get better with time or it will be something that I have to accept. I have the most wonderful patient husband in the world and I don't know what I would do without him and my children. I feel considering what has happened to me, that I am not lucky but "blessed" The last time I saw my surgeon he hugged me and said when he saw my ct scans that night he would not have believed what he is seeing now.

Interests
Before this happened I did a lot of reading now I have trouble with comprehending. But I still read, I may have to read it over and over but I still read. I also love gardening and flowers. I guess my hobby is scrapbooking and I still do that some. I don't drive yet, get to confused and lost. Love spending time with my grandchildren.
