Hello
I wish everyone will tell me that I am going to be OK.
By a MRI they found an aneurysm in my brain.
I have an appointment for August 28th. Doctor said that it could irrupt. I could die or be paralyzed honestly I rather die if it Gods plan.
I am 83. I thought healthy old lady..
Thank you
Carry

The important thing is to make sure it is within reach at surgery. I am 80yrs and in 2014 I had 3 A-V fistulas embolized in my brain with awake anesthesia. It was done at Mayo in Jacksonville and I was very scared also. They reached the area thru my groin and I had no pain. I was told they do a similar procedure for aneurysms. I did well and have enjoyed many years after.Now they even have more advanced equipment and technology so be at peace, it will go well. Make sure you are referred to a reputable medical center. Good luck, the Lord will be with you

I'm so sorry. This is very scary but everything is going to be okay. You're fortunate to have been healthy for 83 years. I hope you have a few more. I'm almost 80, so I'm right there with you, more-or-less. I always thought I was very healthy too until my aortic aneurysm was found a year ago. Gives things a different perspective, doesn't it?
