01/18/2003 entry: "Sudden Death"
There are a lot of things I was thinking of writing about today. Right now, all I can think of is one.
Brain Aneurysms.
I've believed some false information about them, but it's true that if an aneurysm ruptures, you have a 50% chance of dying within minutes, then 50% of delayed death, and the remaining survivors usually are severely impaired.
This scares the hell out of me. Because now everytime I have a headache, I'm going to freak out and think I have an aneurysm. Fucking hell. I could have one now, I've had this headache off and on all day. I mean, I'm pretty sure it's from sinus pressure. I can pretty much tell. But what if it's not? What if I can't tell?
They say it's mostly people 35-60 who get it. But women are more likely to get it than men. The more I think about it, the worse my head hurts because I'm stressing out. And I'm tired.
So I'm going to go to sleep and try not to think about it. Here's a link for those interested:
