Wowwwww what an insane story! The clinical trial results are 😳🙏🏼🫶🏽 so glad that therapy worked for you. When you first said you were preparing to die in your 20s, I almost chuckled thinking “Oh, simple anxiety over …idk” but not an aneurysm! So glad you’re here to make your magic and make us laugh and ponder.

You are a walking, talking miracle, Ororo. And tough AF. Sorry that you had to be. Glad you've made (are making) your way through it. xo

Thank you for sharing all of this! Wow, what you have been through. I’m so glad you were able to get on that experimental treatment and to be here to share your story, laughter and wit with us. I think I’m gonna come live next door to you in that town in Wales too 😂

Wow. A year of living dangerously… and in pain. Sigh. So sorry you endured this torture. G-d had plans for you. 🙏🙏🙏

Oh my goodness, Ororo! You have gone through so much! 💔 I'm wicked glad you got a second opinion. I cannot tell you how much I relate to this... that you've lived with so much pain and then lived with all the questions, doubts, and uncertainty of whether something might happen. Being told that surgery is possible but probably too dangerous is also just... agonizing. I had that with seizures. (I would probably be a burden to my family and none are equipped.) But that you so fearlessly planned your exit strategy is so freakin' badass. I love your Hay-on-Wye vision! It's perfect! You know the Hay-on-Wye book festival is at the end of May? https://www.hayfestival.com/hay-on-wye/home

Can you imagine going? Billy Ocean is playing in between the readings! Someday...

Such an amazing post. Just, wow.
