April 7th, 1998 I had a brain aneurysm.
I was so young and impressionable and yet so strong. I look back at it now and can't believe it was me. I actually found the photos that were taken of me in the hospital. Forgive me if they are a little gross. They are not that bad though. They are all out of order but I will try to at least explain them!

| My amazing boyfriend at the time. Sat there for 2 days. I think this was actually the day of my 18th birthday. |
 |
| Close to the end of the hospital stay. You can see how happy I look and how much weight I had gained already. |

| My brain surgeon and I |

| Looking at pictures. This was in the first few days. I was not as puffy and was still incredibly stoned. |
 |
| The fake smiles everyone wore when they looked at me. This is my sister, mom and dad. |

| My lovely boyfriend, now Husband |
 |
| This is the first day after surgery. Check out that scar! |
 |
| At some poing during the following weeks. Not sure where all the stuffed animals came from! |

| Day 10. They finally gave me a sponge bath and washed my hair. It felt amazing! All the nasties in my hair were disgusting. |

Wow. It's kinda cool you have pictures of this, proof of your strength. What is that white fluffy stuffed thing with rainbow legs? I think I had one of those..but I can't remember what it's called. It's gonna bug me all day.
Thank you. I am always grateful for pictures like this. They hurt to look at buy make me think of how far I have come. Is that thing a rainbow bright guy? I have no idea. Everyone sent me stuffed animals like I was a kid. It was kinda funny :)
