July 22, 2017 I suddenly had extreme head and neck pain that was nothing like I've ever felt before. I called 911 and was taken to St Marys. They briefly saw me and sent me to Froedtert as they were better able to handle my condition. I had a brain aneurysm that ruptured. Dr. Fitzsimmons put a coil in my head via an artery, which obviously is an extremely delicate procedure that is no simple task. A few days later I woke up in a room at Froedtert and was told what had happened as the last thing I remembered was going to St Mary's. For about two weeks I was at Froedtert resting. The staff was so kind and caring. They couldn't have done anything better. The food was so delicious too! The French toast was one of my favorites. Well after finally getting home I decided to Google what all happened to me, looking up the terms used on my discharge papers. I hadn't fully realized until then the extent of what happened. Dr. Fitzsimmons and his team absolutely saved my life and did a miracle! Most people die from a ruptured brain aneurysm and those that survive will almost certainly have physical or mental impairments and sometimes both. I have neither. I think, move and feel exactly the same as I did before this happened. I first thank God for His grace but without Dr. Fitzsimmons and the awesome people at Froedtert, I would be dead or living only with the help of others,probably not able to care for myself. How do you say thank you for another chance at life? May God bless all of the wonderful caring people at Froedtert! ! THANK YOU ALL!
