Angry Warning Signs

Silly me! April has hit the nail on the head. Aneurisms NEVER blow out suddenly from a healthy blood vessel. A weak spot forms and bulges out like a bubble in a tire. It gets worse over a period of months or years. Blood flow becomes turbulent at the bulge and clots tend to form there and sometimes dislodge. Steele could have had a large number of mini-strokes over a period of a year or so before the big blowout that nearly killed him.
