I have an aneurysm in my carotid artery behind my left eye socket. The neurosurgeon told me this past Friday that there's nothing she will do because it's in my skull bone. First I didn't know the carotid artery goes through the skull bone and second my memory is failing as a result of the artery being blocked.

The surgeon was very casual about the whole thing and told me to come back if I have SERIOUS symptoms. This is blocking more than 50% of the blood flow to the left side of my brain and I can tell it's effecting my ability to think. That's serious to me.

It was only by accident that an MRI found this.

F.D.
