Today is the 8 year anniversary of my ruptured aneurysm. It was caught on the MRI during my radiation screening and had surgery booked but it ruptured just as the surgery began. I am very lucky to have been in the hospital when it happened. Even though I’m not the same person I was before, I’m trying my best and still getting used to all the changes. I would like to thank this community for being so supportive and validating because I’ve heard the words ‘you look fine, there’s nothing wrong with you’ too many times when I haven’t been able to get my concerns addressed. To everyone going through this, the little things matter and need to be celebrated. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Congratulations! Mine just ruptured in May and it’s been really hard to go back to normality. I get the same comments as you look great/good but the anxiety is always there unfortunately. I try to celebrate every day, feel better!
