I am sorry that I keep doing this but I need more karma prayers for strength.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

My mom is home and she is doing fine. She is on so much medication. I am still so scared. She is afraid that she won't be the same again. I still can't believe that this has happened. I need to go to bed but I feel like crying because this is such a change - one day she was healthy and now this :cry: I was wondering if anyone out there has had a loved who survived an aneurysm and how was their recovery. I need someone who knows about when their loved came home how they got their strength back and when they did'nt have to take medicine anymore.I sound like a little kid typing this but >.. no more words.

1. Hugs and healing energy are heading your way CP

I cannot imagine.

My aunt is going through quite an ordeal herself. Her partner had viral meningitis back in July, and he is still rehabbing, has very little short term memory, etc.

2. You and your mom have my best wishes, Carolina....

...I would suggest you also have her see a doctor in natural health, such as a ND, or NHD. It would at least offer other ways of dealing with any disabilities, and make her feel empowered to deal with them.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

3. She needs postive inner strength.

She needs to be able to tell herself that she is alright. She has to believe it.

[Robeson]

5. Exactly, and I feel...

...a visit to a ND or NHD would help her do exactly that. Check into it. I know there are a lot in your area.

4. Wishing you both a quick and speedy return to healthfulness.

6. I had a relative who survived an aneurysm. She's doing well.

Sometimes her sentences are a little hard to understand...she'll sometimes construct them differently than she did before the trauma. It's hard to explain unless you've heard her, but she always makes sense. You just have to give a little extra thought to what she's said.

Other than that, she is just the same. Totally aware, intelligent as ever, and with the same personality and sense of humor. This happened to her in her fifties.

I hope that helps. I know it's an extremely difficult thing to go through, but with good medical care your mom may very well get back to "normal", so don't despair.

You have my thoughts and prayers! :hug:

On edit: She underwent physical and speech therapy for a few months. I am unsure when she was able to go off her meds.

7. Thank you :)

My mom talks cleary and her speech is very understandable. It never changed. Its just that my mom is my rock and I am not used to seeing her not out and about like she used to be. Its gonna take some time but I know she is alright. I have to be patient with time. I am being her shoulder to cry on now. I never saw my mom this emotional before. She is just living life to the fullest now. She wants me to give her grandkids now. If only I could have a boyfriend that would make the greatest husband.

10. I got to see someone make an amazing recovery from an aneurysm.

She recovered even after a) not being taken to the hospital until almost an hour after the actual rupture (she was home alone when it happened, and b) after being given 0% chance of survival by the best neurosurgeon in the state. She kept both her motor and language skills and is ostensibly living a normal life.

But I know changes of this nature can be very, very scary. The near loss of a parent is about as frightening as it gets.

11. Give it some time. She'll be back to herself very quickly.

A friend of mine recently suffered an aneurysm. He's doing great. Back at work, back to his old self.

Just relax and give it some time. :hug:

[Callalily]

12. No need to

apologize. Prayers and healing light are coming your way.

[SPKrazy]

13. Good Vibes

sorry it will just be scary I'm afraid

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:


rehab is tough but with good care she can improve :)

[chknltl]

14. Best wishes to the both of you.

I do not know what else to tell you but know this: A part of your pain is shared by all here.

15. My friend survived a massive aneurysm.

He was in the hospital for weeks and his recovery took months. He was told that he'd never walk again and he does although he is partially paralyzed on his left side. It has been years and he still talks about how tough the recovery was. Despite everything his intellect and sense of humor are intact. If he can do it, your mom can do it. Hang in there, CarolinaPeridot. :hug:

[Haole Girl]

16. Aww...

..It's only natural to be afraid, I'm sure, since you've been through such an ordeal....please try not to worry....hugs for you and your mom... :hug: :hug: :hug:

While I haven't personally known anyone who has had the same situation, I have been with people who've overcome serious disease/illness...and, in this recovery stage especially, it's very important to find that positive energy...hold onto it...and visualize how everything is going to be okay....okay? More hugs...:hug: :hug: :hug:

17. Good thoughts and prayers for you and your Mom, CarolinaPeridot.

God Bless you both.

19. My neighbor's MIL (70-ish & active) suffered an aneurysm a month ago after

pulling the Lampson for Congress sign out of my front yard and throwing it on the ground.

She's home after 2 weeks in hospital plus 2 surgeries and is going to be fine.

The stress of the event is just now catching up with you, honey. Let is flow through. The danger is over. Let it flow through.

[crim son]

20. I wanted to let you know that my friend who had the

aneurysm said I could give you his email address if you need support or any information about recovery. He's a super-nice guy and understands what your mother is going through. PM me if you're interested, now or any time in the future, okay? -Lisa
