In 2018 I was a 28-year-old full time working mother to a seventeen-month-old beautiful soul and in love with my best friend. We were starting a life together with our […]

Brain aneurysms are an alarming medical trauma. It’s spontaneous, fatal and for those who do survive it can be cataclysmic on the brain. Some of us escape this monstrosity unscathed, others are left with motor and cognitive deficits. How many people can attest that they had knowledge of what a brain aneurysm was before they […]

In January 2018, I hit my head pretty hard and went to the doctor. It was not serious but I decided to bring up something I had thought about for years. I figured I had already paid the co=pay and should get a few more things in. I asked if I could get tested for […]

September 4, 2015. Labor Day weekend, my aneurysm ruptured. I was just 23 years old. I want to share my story in hopes it will help spread awareness. Before this happened to me I really didn’t know anything about Brain Aneurysm’s and had never known anyone who had experienced one. Leading up to my rupture […]

19th December 2014. I’d been out to a work lunch, I was an EMT1 and worked stupid shifts that ruined sleep and socials. So it was a nice time to get 15 odd paramedics and EMTs together.  Didn’t feel particularly well, and in  their own normal crew mate way, I got told I looked shit, […]
