I didn't have a rupture either but still ended up with short term memory. I would have to ask my husband three times "what did you ask me?" and walk away repeating it so I could remember what I was just asked.LOL
I know it's hard to say don't be scared...I was scared but when it's done you will be back here sharing what you have gone through and helping the next person. Beside the 11th is the date I had,also the number 11 was my surgery room,elevator to surgery,my birthday,my son's birthday,and the day I meant my husband ...and we married on the 11th. It's a good number I'm going to start a thread about memory stories...it's not so scary when you see what others have done and very funny.
