Just learn how to breath

Maria is a happy woman. She has a rewarding career and a loving partner.

One day, Maria's right leg became numb. Several days later, her tongue was numb; then her right arm too became numb.

She was scared. Could it be a MS ? Could it be a stroke?

Hurriedly she made an appointment with a local neurologist. After a thorough exam, the neurologist told her:

" I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that you do not have a stroke; nor a MS. The bad news is that you have an aneurism on the blood vessel on your skull."

"What shall we do with the aneurism?" Maria asked worriedly.

"We do not make surgery correction on aneurism here. But my assistant will schedule an appointment with Dr. Neumann in Madison, WI."

Few minutes later, the assistant told the doctor that the appointment had been made. Maria would see Dr. Neumann in two weeks.

"What would I do if the blood vessel break during this 2 weeks?" Maria worriedly inquired.

"Well, when the time comes, then it is the time for you to be at the eternal place.

That was not a calming words for Maria. During these 2 weeks, she lost sleep and was in deep depression and anxiety.

Maria saw Dr. Neumann after 2-week waiting period. After a thorough exam, Dr. Neumann did confirm that Maria had an aneurism on the blood vessel.

"I have good news and bad news for you." Dr. Neumann said,

"The good news is that we do have surgery procedure to correct your blood vessel. But the bad news is that this procedure is pending on FDA approval which probably would take 4 years to complete."

"What would I do during these 4 years of waiting period?" Maria asked.

"The blood vessel will burst when you are in tense state and holding your breath." the doctor said.

"From now on, you have to learn how to relax and how to breath to avoid the blood vessel rupture."

So, Maria began to do the breathing exercise since then. Four years had passed, she did not have incidence. The doctor told her that as long as she breath and relax, she will be fine. Besides, surgery correction is always a risk. If one can learn how to breath, it is better off than the surgery.
