I wanted to share with you a terrible thing that has happened to me. 4 Days ago I was sitting in front of my laptop and started feeling dizzy. I moved over to the nearby couch and laid down. My condition quickly worsend I was soon unable to breath. My wife called 911 and I was transported to the local hospital ER and got a CRT done. It was found I had a large 3cm aneurysm in my brain. This aneurysm did not rupture but a blood clot had formed inside it and a small part of the blood clot broke off and blocked blood flow to a small but important part of my brain. I had a stroke both my left arm and left leg are now numb and I have double vision. This condition is happening in blood vessels through my brain and is not repaiRABLE BY SURGERY. As a result of this problem I wont be posting as often as I used to as it takes MUCH effort for me to do so. I will still be around the foum I just wanted someone here to know what has happend to me. Thanks JOHN

    Take it easy John. Don't worry about what is going on here...it'll all still be here whenever you feel well enough to check in. Do what's important right now and do all that's possible to get well.
    I have been dealing with a far less serious health issue myself, and I have been reminded of the comfort that prayer can bring. Please give it a try.

    John wishing you a full and speedy recovery.In october of 2010,I woke up from a nap and couldnt walk.Pain in my legs was 11+ on a scale of 1-10.After spending a few weeks in the hospital,the doctors began treating me for leukemia.Long story short,I had a staph infection in my leg bones.Now over a year later,I can take only a few steps at a time but the forum was exactly the same when I was able to come back online.Keep believing that it will get better my friend and it will.

    Sorry John, hang in there. My mother had 2 aneurysms they found after some months of headaches. They were stintable though and now 15 years later you'd never know outside of the haircut/stiches pictures.

    Have faith and spirit, see if you can get in there mentally and fix/stop it yourself!!
