Survived A Ruptured Brain Aneurysm while Traveling In Spain

You did out type me Mr. Chris and you included a picture! Good for you!:rofl:. And you’ve been released, how awesome is that!

I used to hear my heartbeat every time I laid down for as long as I can remember. When I ruptured it went away but I got the ringing that wouldn’t stop, drove me batty. And I missed the pulsatile tinnitus. My PCP had me try a fan, the old desk type that clicks, when I went to bed. It worked wonders! The ENT said nothing could be done about it. But yesterday I read @Suzanne’s post found here Hi I'm Suzanne and her Audiologist gave her some great ideas!

You don’t know how happy I was to read your children were staying with their grandparents! I’m sure they were a huge help for you and your wife. I was thinking yesterday about the language barrrier…could only come up with Mexican Spanish is no where the same as Spain’s Spanish, sort of like American English and the English @DickD speaks😂

Your wife, bless her heart (in the good way), is your protector! She will never step all the way down if she’s anything like BH. You both will have to work on it. I do believe BH has PTSD from my rupture, I don’t have it. BH gave me as many rules as my Neurosurgeon did! BH was scared to death and can still get upset about it all. I finally had to put a stop to both. Didn’t work but at least I got the words out. After several years, they finally decided I was going to do what I wanted to do and have eased up a lot. There are many things I can’t do because individuals whether specialists or BH always rat on me.

Keep up the relaxation breathing, have your wife do it as well. Don’t forget the protein W.H.O recommends 120 gms a day now, the dietician in the hospital said at least 90 gms a day, it helps with the brain healing. And hydration, don’t forget to hydrate!
