Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Has anyone had any experience with or known anyone who has had experience w/ this??? Basically like an aneurysm.
On Nov 14th I had this happen to me. I was in the hospital for 22 days, lost 45 lbs (tons of muscle), and had a shunt put into my head through surgury. After I got home it took me a while to recover (walking balance etc). The doctor has told me that I don't have to restrict myself from anything. I was in good health, no problems except a quad pull. I was training 5-6 days per week and was planning to diet for my second comp here satrting this March '05. My blood pressure was actually good except for when the bleed occured...which lasted the doctors figured 11-12 minutes. After all was said and done the doctors said if I'd been older or not had be larger that I would not have made it (25yrs old and around Nov14th 250lbs, planning to diet to around 215 to 220 for heavy weight). Suprisingly I only got one small lecture while in the hospital concerning my use of gear, which was four days before I was released.
I'm very curious to any info that anyone might be able to share with me regarding this or any other similar problem....I am alrewady back to training lightly but definitely lost alot of strength.
Thanks to everyone and remember to enjoy the sport that I love so much.

Doing unhealthy things for healthy reasons.

I have been telling guys that I work with for many years there is absolutely nothing to be gained by bulking up to 280# or 250#, then over dieting and over training to lose 50 or more Pounds for a contest.

A much healthier way is to put on muscle and take off fat at the same time without stressing the body until all kinds of negative reactions set in and destroy the body enough to breakdown just before a competition or even after. No need to list all the disasters, that have taken place over the last 20 years, when builking up became so popular and perpetuated by a Dr, that ended up doing 5 years for blackmarket drug dealing to get close to some BBers.
It is still being promoted to the young inexperienced trainee by various suppliers. So the side-effects occur earlier and earlier in their lives.

I refuse to provide professional services to anyone desiring to take the low road to success, since it eludes them no matter how hard they try and I do not wish to waste my time, that is offered as a professional courtesy! I like to see results and take home FIRST PLACE, also.
