About Me
I am a writer and painter by trade, painting and writing from my true life experiences, yet in a creative way. Most of my works are tempered by the melancholy...these things aside I am an avid outdoorsman, kayaking, camping, hiking...the list goes on...lol.

Interests
Aside from art in its many forms and the great outdoors...and second only to the aforementioned: I am and have always been fascinated by psychology. I chose to work in psychiatrics for 8 1/2 years, to further my studies. In order to see beyond that which appears on the surface...to understand the "whys" and how to treat the illness. This of course has its own humble beginings...a child of a mentally ill parent. This due to Post-Traumatic Stress in the "Highest Order", for the lack of a better term. From here it is onward and upward...I enjoy the musical genuis of Tom Petty's latest cd..."Mudcrutch" as he and many other great musicians, have matured and it is apparent in his music. I relate well to his words in many of the songs therein. Books...Stephen King. Upon reading his bio and his book "On Writing" I can again relate to where he has been in his personal life...thus this will give those who read my words here, a better picture of who I am.

Open Aneurysms
Hi, I'm Wrinwick...A lot has changed in medical technology since my aneurysm 15 years ago. Mine was nearly the same as yours katt101, in its location, etc...It was discovered almost too late. So you are most fortunate in their finding yours as they have. Back then they felt I may lose the use of my right arm at best. Fine surgeons that they are...they were wrong. I not only survived the surgery, but came away with no side effects. My stay was for 29 days in intensive care...
Treatments
- Surgery, Brain Working / Worked
- It worked and I am quite funtional in all ways. No side effects.
