Aneurysm Stories

Although most of the stories I write are fiction, this short story is a retelling of events that I personally experienced. The purpose of this story is to raise awareness for Brain Aneurysms and to make you appreciate those around you more.

This started as a love story. A tale of a boy and a girl that began when we were just babbling babies, unable to articulate or form plausible sentences. By teenager-hood, it was more than an excellent friendship, but neither of us would come to admitting it. It's funny how two people can have an understanding of the love they share without openly sharing it. This started as a love story, the key word being "started". *Unedited*

In my opinion my life was perfect. Yes I had my ups and downs but all together my life was very balanced and fair. While watching over my dead body I was able to think about those questions that you lucky living people think about frequently. At first I was in and out with mega pain but eventually I was gone, flat lined, dead. The story of Mitchie.......after death.

I thought Thor hit the back of my head with his hammer. The first hit, I felt my skull shattered. The second hit was worse. The third left me unconscious. Luckily, my husband decided to walk the dogs with me that cold November 22nd morning. The paramedics arrived quickly and I was in surgery within an hour. Blackout. Ambulance. Paramedics unzipped my winter jacket and paused. I was wearing my bra over my shirt. Well, I get sweaty under my boobies. He cut both bra and shirt with scissors. Blackout. MRI. Blackout. Anesthesia. Surgery. Coma. Aneurysms kill people 30% instantly, 30% die in the ambulance and another 30% die during surgery. The survival percentile is only 10%. Will I survive this? Will I be the same again?
