Where is there anything written about Stella's "suspected aneurysm"? Did she know of it? Did her family? Her GP? Anyone? Where was this "suspected aneurysm"? In her stomach? In her brain? In her heart?
Why is there so little known about aneurysms?
Last year when I - for the first time - received a CT identifying my own aneurysm, I did some investigation. I wrote "Aneurysm Aphorism" blogspot (which was full of info but has sort of gone to sleep now, sorry) and found some Australian information, and much more information from USA. So many websites, with info that seemed very good. Yet how many people know anything about aneurysms - which can kill you? How many people know anything about aneurysms rather than or as well as breast cancer? Prostate cancer? Heart disease? Bone problems? Are there any fundraising places which are helpful to the understanding about aneurysms? Just what are aneurysms and when do they happen?
When can we find out anything about Stella Young's "suspected aneurysm"?
I thought I'd just repeat some info about aneurysms, so you, Reader (hopefully Sharer), will know something about them. Why? Because it is so important, with a growing problem, to actually know a little bit about them.
- Google will separate out aneurysms into "brain", "aortic" or "abdominal". You need to know where the aneurysm is. Don't always assume it is in the brain.
- Brain aneurysms occur in approximate 2% of adults. (www.brainfoundation.org.au)
- 20% of these 2% people will have two or more aneurysms. (http://www.neurosurgicalassociates.com.au/cerebral.html)
- When an aneurysm ruptures it can cause a severe headache. (www.avmsurgeon.com/aneurysms.html)
- In Australia 1600 people are recorded as rupturing; 39% of those (624) will die. (www.avmsurgeon.com/aneurysms.html)
- Aneurysms may not have any symptoms until they rupture. (www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Aneurysm)
- "Saccular" (or berry) aneurysm is the most common type of aneurysm (80-90%). "Fusiform" is different, but seldom ruptures. (www.bafound.org/brain-aneurysm-basics)
- As soon as finding out about your aneurysm, talk to your doctor and get a reception to a neurosurgeon.
Did you know any of this? Do you act similarly to this info as to any that you get on, say, breast cancer? Do you support it? Would you put any money into a funding raiser? Would that be to support surgery or info blogging? Or a representative who will make public speeches? Did you actually read any information that I gave you?Do you know someone with an aneurysm?
Stella Young was so "ability" (she hated the word "disability"). Yet it's probably unseen as to what caused her death. Aneurysm? She supported many funded causes, but what caused her an aneurysm? Did she actually have one? If so, where do we find that out? If not, who put that into the editor writing??
Stella Young was a wonderful person, so active, so canny, so well trained. I should have been that - I have my own ability, and I know that she hates the "other" word. Just now, just from a very brief mention, we can certainly understand why or how she managed to die. Regardless of why or how, she had a wonderful life. Just for now, just this moment, I might even just let some people turn their vibes away from most people, which, it seems, like someone just did that in a report about Stella.
You are forgiven, just now. But don't ever do that again. I found a report on the ABC that some hospital was criticised with communication failures about aneurysms, back in 2009. We know, now, that aneurysm time is possibly against everyone.
Teach everyone who needs to know about aneurysm. They can help to keep someone alive.
