The Day I Woke Up! - Salisbury, Carol A

This book is my testimony on how God brought me through a massive stroke due to a brain aneurysm that I suffered on January 12, 2010. God has guided me to share my story so that others will come to the realization like I did, that we cannot do it all and more importantly, we can't do anything without God's help. There are an estimated six million people, or 1 in 50 people that lives in the United States who have an unruptured brain aneurysm. The risk factors of a massive stroke are high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, bad headache, atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), diabetes, lack of regular exercise, diet, and a history of stroke in the family. I had none of these risk factors, but unknown to me, I had a brain aneurysm.
