One Sunday while on the telephone, I had a sudden headache. It was a pain in my right eye like what I use to refer as "Brain Freeze." When ever I ate ice cream or would drink cold water I would get this pain, behind my right eye and had to stop eating or drinking. But this time I didn't have anything to eat or drink causing this sudden tremendous pain. I hung up the phone and went to lay down on my bed. If it wasn't for my husband calling 911 and the rescue team calling for a hellicopter to take me to the hospital across town, and a wonderful surgeon I wouldn't be here today. I remained in the hospital & nursing home from Sept.16,2001 to Nov.26,2001. I couldn't eat because I was nauseaus most of the time so my husband gave me Coke Cola to drink, that settled my stomach. I used a wheel chair and a walker to get around for two months. I have rheumatoid arthritus and don't want to be in a wheel chair ever again. Sometimes I use my cain, but only when the waather turns bad.I am 72 years old.
