Last modified: 8/6/2013 9:38:47 AM I am a brain aneurysm survivor. I like to tell people that I literally blew my mind. I was stricken while in Colorado in February 2008. Becoming violently sick and disoriented immediately sent us to a hospital, and from there I was airlifted to a Denver hospital. The prognosis was against me and the doctors, my family and friends did not know if I’d survive. My life changed drastically after brain surgery. I had to discover the “new me” and adapt my daily living. It was five years ago that I spent the month of March hospitalized in Colorado, and every spring I recount the event and celebrate another year’s progress from this life-altering event.
