I found this on the internet in some of my searches of survivor stories. I guess you could say I'm still amazed that I lived through what happened and I'm still searching for the answers to some of my questions. This poem really got to me and I had to share it with all of you that are praying for me and my family. Thanks!
S lowly I wake, no memories of hours past.
U nbelievable circumstances, I did outlast.
R ecovering and healing both lie ahead.
V ictim, not I, but survivor, not dead.
I mpossible to grasp or want to know,
V ery scared and hopeful, both high and low.
O ut of this illness, this tragedy, this pain,
R eal strength, real courage, and real love will remain.
- written by H. Karp another subarachnoid aneurysm survivor
