I heard someone on this site say that the majority of the time you don't survive an anneuryism. I know Cathy had one and she's still with us too. Lots of good fortune. 
[/QUOTE]Many people have aneurysms and survive them just fine. It's when they rupture that the survival rate bottoms out. I had a 6% chance of survival, and a 3% chance of being able to live a normal life afterwards. So I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
Of course, a lot depends on the size of the aneurysm, the location, how long after it ruptures that you get treatment, etc.
Life is fairly normal now. I'm again living on my own. I still have short term memory loss, but it's improving steadily.
