Hi everyone, I can't believe it's already been one year since my aneurysm rupture, SAH, and emergency coiling. Time flies, and it has been a journey. There have been many ups and downs, but I am realizing that it is all just a new part of who I am. I would be lying if I said that I am fully recovered, but I have come so far and have such few side effects that I am eternally grateful. I just want to let everyone know that no matter how hopeless you feel- it will get better!! I still deal with daily headaches, anxiety, and eye pain, but the fact that I survived something that should've killed me is a miracle itself. This support group has been a great source of encouragement, hope, and answers along the way. Thanks everyone, and I look forward to continuing this journey!
Happy annieversary, Laura. So glad you are doing well!
Hey Laura....You are Rockin' My partner is only 4 months into recovery and everyday I say slow and steady You can add.....with little skip in your step = )
Happy Anniversary for your 1 year!!
Happy Anniversary! You are right, it does get better with time!
Thanks for sharing Laura! Wishing you all the best!
Laura congratulations! I This month I celebrated my 2 years anniversary of my pipeline stent and last November I also celebrated 1 year anniversary of my coilings! God is gracious and merciful!
Congratulations! Celebrate life!
Congratulations Laura! So glad to hear you are doing well after 1 year. 2 days ago was my 2nd anniversary of my rupture/sah, feb 7 will be 2 yrs since my coiling (I was misdiagnosed for 5days), and am also doing pretty well with a few minor issues. We’ve simplified our lives over the past 2 years - reduced our commitments, downsized our home, limit our activities. It has been a mix of healing and adjusting to a “new normal”. But through this have spent more quality time with my wife, live at a slower pace, get more exercise, and have a more thankful attitude, so I think my quality of life has actually improved. Anyway, may your health continue to improve as you move toward your next anniversary.
Amen!!
Congrats! And yes it does continue to get better. Next month will be my 3rd year anniversary of SAH clipping. I’m still improving and feeling better - my hope is you will too.
congrates! I celebrate with you! I was coiled sah too and june will be 6 yrs! so sorry you have headaches = are they pressure type ones? I have a shunt but I mainly blame sinus and the weather, tc xoxo
Happy Anniversary Laura! I too am the living and breathing proof of the power of prayer. I thank God daily for allowing me to live. Since my Annie in 2012, my only daughter has gotten married and given us a beautiful baby girl, Katherine Grace.
Happy Anniversary and may each year bring the best for you!

Congratulations Laura!!! God is good!!
Congratulations! God absolutely is still in the miracle business! My 1 yr. anniversary was Sept. 4th. Six months after my coiling I flew to be with my daughter who had a craniotomy. Her tumor was found as a result of a suggested MRA for my sisters and children. I'm getting ready to fly back to SF again to celebrate her one year anniversary with her and my 4 GRANDdaughters!
Wow! Thank you to all of you survivors for inspiration every day!!
You are all miracles!!!
Happy Birthday, Laura!!!
