August 15, 2007, I survived a grade 5 subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a ruptured aneurysm on my right middle cerebral artery. I had a 10% chance of survival, and of that, a 2% chance I would be functional if I survived.
It took 10 hours after the rupture before I received the appropriate medical intervention.
At the time of injury I was 30 years old.
When I woke up from my coma and brain surgery, I was half paralyzed, lost half my vision, and lost half my sensation. At the time this weblog was created I was almost 18 months post injury.
I am sharing my story with you to help survivors of severe intracranial bleeds from ruptured aneurysms, their support networks, and the medical community, learn about what I experienced, to demystify the recovery process, offer hope for recovery, answer questions you may have from someone who has experienced it, and share the knowledge I learned when I researched what happened to me. Visit my “Aneu Peeps” page for the interactive forum of this weblog.
Aneu is defined as brand new, since everything is new for me post bleed. Aneu is a play on the word aneurysm 
I am definitely Aneu Gal!
