Aneurysms Support Group
An aneurysm (or aneurism) is localized, blood-filled dilation (bulge) of a blood vessel caused by disease or weakening of the vessel wall. Aneurysms most commonly occur in arteries at the base of the brain and in the aorta - this is an aortic aneurysm. This bulge in a blood vessel can burst and lead to death at any time.
My mother (73) suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) brain aneurysm on Thursday 11/15 and underwent coiling surgery on Saturday 11/17 morning. She has yet to regain consciousness.
How long does it take to "wake up"?
The doctors have been saying "anytime" for 3 days now and the "waiting game" is getting unsettling. Any advice or personal experiences are greatly appreciated.

My sis had a massive brain aneurysm December 22 2006, they coiled it that night late, I cannot remember how long she slept, but then the crazy thing ruptured 2 more times, so coiling was obviously not the answer. She has been through hell 3 times, finally they decided to just clamp it this July 2007. Your mom is older than my sis, she is 57. I do believe that age plays a part in it all. Be patient, pray, and I am sure she will eventually awaken. The brain is a very complex thing, the doctors are even perplexed by it still. I wish the best things for you and your family.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
