hi lynn
welcome to bt2.
my mother's side of the family has a history of aneurysms. 3 of my aunt's lives have been dramaticly changed due to this.
one got staph infection from the surgeon and has a piece of her skull missing. another was given the wrong med after surgery and it burned the veins in her hand, which she had most amputated because of.
it's not just the aneurysm that does damage. the person can't always communicate when they are in pain or know there is a problem. i'm really glad to see this forum here.
