Hi, my name is Paula Harmon. Four years ago I suffered from a ruptured massive aneurysm and was in a coma for three months. I had to learn how to talk again, and walk again. But three months ago I had another stroke, behind my left eye, it was then they found I had a shunt that need closing in my heart. That was another two weeks in the hospital. I live here in Alabama and I am now struggling to get Social Security. I have worked from the time I was 19 to three years ago, and I suffer from dizziness and bouts of depression. I would love to know if there was any doctor here in Alabama that can help me? Please my son now has to help my financially and sometimes physically.

I just want to add to that last comment I made, I also had a stroke during the ruptured of my aneurysm.
