My AA

Started out as just not feeling well thinking a shower would help and I know I dissected in the shower, Made it to the couch just before my wife left for work. I told her something was very very wrong,, she called 911 and I was raken to a local hospital. There they ran some test and I had lost all track of time, My sons came and I had no idea they were even there, after the CT scn and echo it was determinted I had had a AA. I was life flighted to Pittsburgh and had a 6 or 7 hour surgery, I recall waking up a day later, unable to move my right left. after a few weeksn in that hospital I was sent to a rehab place where I earned to walk again which still is not close to anything perfect. but I get around half decent,

Hi Buddy. Thanks for sharing. Hugs from Sweden / Timo
