It’s been 4 years for me and I too count my blessings. I’ve pushed myself very hard over these past four years to try to get back to a “normal” state (i.e. pre-aneurysm) before I’ve finally, just more recently, accepted the fact that I’m living in a new normal and I need to give myself permission to just enjoy this new normal. I feel so free now that I’ve done that because everything is a new slate. I’ve said no more over the past 2 months than ever before. And I have just refused to make my schedule crazy any longer. I’ve cancelled out of speaking engagements that I’ve done consistently for the past three years but that were very draining for me. So I almost feel like this year is my first year because its the first time I’ve given myself permission to acknowledge that I’ve had a serious event happen to me.

on the 23rd of this month it will be 9 months for me. I am so thankful to have been given a second chance at life. I have 3 wonderful children and a loving husband I can’t imagine leaving . I used to be a goer but now I just take my time and do what I can do. If I do too much then I fell it and need a nap. I sometimes get frustrated at myself because my memory isn’t like it used to be. Appreciate things in life more than before.

Hi Michelle, Congrats on your 1 year anniversary!!! I celebrated my 5 year anniversary on 2/2010. This was short lived however when I went for a f/u angio and another annie was found. Now I am 6 weeks post-op from my second craniotomy where they found a third annie. So now I must begin my count down all over again. My new anniversary date is 8/25/2011. Take care and keep in touch! Sherri
