For the past few weeks I have been having very strong headaches, usually when working out on the leg press while pushing very heavy weights. Aspirin or Tylenol would not stop that heavy pounding in my head, so I decided to check with the docs. Got a CAT scan done and the results came today: I am diagnosed with an aneurysm.

At this point, I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised by the results. It seems that it is condition running in the family. My grandma died this year from an aneurysm, one of my aunts has an aneurysm in a location they cannot operate on, and my mom was operated for an aneurysm a couple years back. But yeah, nothing I should really be surprised with…

I just did not think it would happen to me, and especially not now while I am still in my 20s. I got no health insurance, and the income I have won’t allow me to fork the 40-50 grand necessary for surgery: brilliant situation. My life is paused for now, I guess I no longer have time to waste and must make haste of everything.
