I felt the same trying to watch that show.

I have a couple of female acquaintances and a niece who have gone through this. I wonder does it affect women more often?

Maybe it was caused by having to repeatedly spend a lot of time naked in fires...

Time magazine?

No ... I might visit blogger sites, but not that sewer.

Stunning girl. One of the most beautiful speaking voices I’ve ever heard, too.

An ex girlfriend of mine died at the age of 40 of an aneurysm.

My wife and many in her family including her father have suffered the devastating effects of polycistic kidney disease--PKD. She is the oldest surviving member of her family of all those who had the disease. It is a inherited disease.

One of the consequences of the disease is it can and does cause brain aneurysms.

When we changed Medicare companies, the new company asked her to have a complete evaluation including a brain scan. We went to the doctor for the follow up, and we found that she had a brain aneurysm. Went to a neurosurgeon, and about a month later, she had the procedure done.

It was so very close because, when the neurosurgeon started the procedure, the aneurysm was just starting to rupture.

What they actually do these days is to strengthen the part of the brain that is affected with platinum--it actually fills the bubble.

My wife is a part of the PKD Stops With Me movement. She wants me tell you that there was nothing in her daily well-being or routine medical care that showed she had a brain aneurysm.

I think she would also want me to tell you to be very careful with your kidneys. Fortunately, a donor, our adult son, stepped forward and donated a kidney so that his Mom, my wife, could survive the disease so that she could live without a lifetime of treatment that could have included life-long dialysis.
