Month: September 2018

Former Chicago radio reporter Janet Sutherland was living alone when a ruptured brain aneurysm left her fighting for her life. Now she is a survivor and an author! Her book highlights that caring for dogs often inspires us to take better care of ourselves, particularly in times of crisis. Andrew J immediately took on the role as a “therapy” dog for Janet.

A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to the Brain Aneurysm Foundation, the globally recognized leader in brain aneurysm awareness, education, support, advocacy and research funding. The foundation provides support, education, and information to brain aneurysm patients, their families, and the medical community. They also fund essential research that can directly benefit those affected and help to reduce the incidence of ruptured aneurysms. For more see janetesutherlandcom

We must stop hoping for a better past .. That ship sailed. Would we change it if we could? Of course. Now that we are here, can life become an adventure we could have never foreseen .. Absolutely! Don’t drop the rope, there is still reason for hope. Join Simon and I for this honest, realistic discussion.

In June 2009, guest Steve Schwiering was experiencing a very painful headache from above his eye rounding his skull. The pain was unbearable so he went to the local walk-in clinic, hoping they could find out what was going on. Steve was there for several hours before it was decided he should be sent via ambulance to a hospital. After laying in the ER for 11 hours he was finally given a CAT scan and found to be suffering from a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. They repaired the bleed with (2) coils. Twenty one days later .. He was released.
