I had always operated under the assumption that brain aneurysms are just unavoidable, bad luck, and come with no warning signs
The day started as any normal day did for me as a 7th grader. It was January 12, 1988. As I rushed around getting ready for school, my mom helped me study for my vocabulary test as we bumped into each other as we tried to share the bathroom sink – she was impressed that I knew all of the words on our first run-through, so we eliminated additional studying from that morning’s task list.
My day at school was as normal as any day for a middle schooler, meaning it was predictably abnormal. What I didn’t know was that sometime around lunch time, my mom was rushed to the hospital. She suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm, and slipped into a coma. She had surgery, but there wasn’t much they could do. I saw her that night after surgery and it was obvious that our life, my life, was permanently changed in a devastating way.. 42 years old is way too young.
One can have an aneurysm , and if identified, there are things that can be done to prevent it from rupturing. Once it ruptures, the results are typically catastrophic. The Lisa Colagrossi Foundation has received multiple letters detailing personal stories of how he or she credited the foundation with helping them and/or a family member recognize early symptoms, resulting in going to the ER immediately and potentially saving their life.
She was vomiting on New Year’s eve from the severity of the headache, and hadn’t had a drink. She had gone to a doctor and he gave her penicillin for a glands cold. There was one going around in January 1988 so it seemed like a reasonable diagnosis.
