I had an aneurysm rupture between my left temple and eyebrow and was totally out of it for a month... In a coma. They didn't expect me to return to normal, and made plans with Mom to put me into a nursing home near Rockland, ME, where she lives. After a month, they moved me by ambulance to Bangor, to get me closer to Mom, and on the 4th day, I woke up, sat up in bed, and said to Abasbu, my Somalian nurse, "Where to hell am I and why am I here?" Startled her quite a lot! From that point on, it was intensive therapy and doctor visits for over two years. I'm finally back to normal, am working and driving again. It was a long two years.
