The Mother of Dragons Had a Brain Aneurysm After Season 1?!

Clarke, E. (2019, March 21.) A battle for my life. The New Yorker.

I honestly picked this story because I was a huge fan of "Game of Thrones" (up until the last few season/ I named my car after Arya Stark's direwolf Nymeria but we aren't talking about that). I do a pretty alright job of keeping up with what is going on in the pop culture world, but I had never heard about any of this happening. So I was pretty surprised and captivated simply by the title, I had to know more.
The Mother of Dragons had two brain aneurysms. Wild. She obviously has made a complete full recovery from them. For the first one in 2011, she just had an endovascular coiling which just means that they took a wire through her femoral artery all the way up her body and to her brain to stop the bleeding. (How wild a wire can go from your groin all the way to your brain! Medicine is cool.) Her second procedure in 2013 did not go as planned. It was supposed to be another simple operation but she has a massive brain bleed so the surgeons had to cut her skull open and fix the problem "the old fashion way". She dealt with aphasia for a while but after a few weeks she was back to normal learning her lines for upcoming "Game of Thrones" season 4.
A personal take away from Emilia's story is just that you never know what it going on internally, so always be on your toes for any changes within yourself and those around you. No matter how healthy you are, something could easily go wrong within you and bam that could be it. She spoke about possible warning signs she and her family might have ignored like migraines and fainting as a child. Maybe if she would have gone to the doctor sooner and spoke about these things she wouldn't had to have two operations or they could have done something sooner before her first aneurysm. I feel like people need to know the signs and symptoms of when someone else is having a brain injury whether it's traumatic or non-traumatic.
