Default Aneurysm and athletics

Hey all!

I just got diagnosed with a wee 2 mm aneurysm. I'll be seeing the neurosurgery dept next week to find out what they want to do, but so far the doctors have been very liberal in letting me run and participate in karate. Still, I wonder - will having an aneurysm mess up my chances of running a marathon or getting back into full contact in karate? Right now I'm training with no hits to the head, but I'm wondering with treatment if I'll be able to train in full after or if it's all over for that sort of thing.

Any ideas on how things like running, weight training and karate affect an aneurysm?

Thanks in advance!

Janet
