Brain Anuerysm Awareness Month on Recovery Now with Kim Justus

Brain Aneurysm Survivors speak out with personal stories, and we'll be discussing warning signs, treatments and other issues related to Awareness of a condition few but survivors know much about.  An estimated 6.5 million people in the United States have an unruptured brain aneurysm, or 1 in 50 people. The annual rate of rupture is approximately 8 – 10 per 100,000 people. About 30,000 people in the United States suffer a brain aneurysm rupture each year. A brain aneurysm ruptures every 18 minutes.

This September is the five year mark for Megan Bacigalupo. She suffered a spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage in 2017, while biking home.  John Hileman is a nearly 20 year brain aneurysm survivor.  He has never given up and  never will let a brain injury limit his life.  My rupture happened in 1995, when I underwent a crainiotomy & clipping procedure. Ron Kratz suffered an aneurysm in 2009 receiving a coil & shunt procedure. Please call in and share a bit of your experience!

This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me."

We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers, which takes a good bit of Warrior!
