Hello, I'm the wife of an aneurysm survivor. We have been married 11 years now. My husband has 3 grown children and I have 2, daughter 26 and son 17. My stepkids have been making life so very hard. The issues are all over the place and some have no baring at all. Any one else out there experiencing this? I'd appreciate advice and a shoulder! thanks

My sister had a brain aneurysm 28 years ago (she unfortunately died in January of brain cancer...not related to the aneurysm). After her operation 28 years ago, she too lost some of her memory and luckily, only her sense of smell - physically she was well. It took about a year or so for her memory to return to 'normal' altho I must say there were slight personality differences - but we adjusted and learned to love the 'new' her. There was more anxiety on her part (she had trouble being in crowds...that may have to do with the fact that she had her brain aneurysm while out playing bingo in a hall full of people... don't know for sure). But she was a SURVIVOR and she took on a personality that was tougher - on herself mostly. She was a perfectionist (had to have things just so.. where before she was very carefree - but she remained the lovable person she always was). I wonder if the problem with the stepkids are because of worry over their dad. Were there problems before his aneurysm? If there were not - then it is likely just worry on their part (they do not want to lose their dad) - you should discuss this openly with them. If there were issues before his aneurysm, then that is a whole other issue. Family counselling might help also. Take care.

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...
