So they say - and the rational part of me knows it as well, just don't feel all that lucky...

Bleedings vary in danger depending on how large a vessel broke and where it's located - one big lottery.
Intracerebral (as for me) is probably worst if near the brain stem, as involontary lifesupport functions may be affected. IIRC, bleedings in the surrounding membranes tend to be from larger vessels...

BP measured as I arrived at the hospital was in the 210/180 region - no idea what my normal level was as I hadn't had a checkup in a loong time. With medication I'm currently around 115/75, no sideeffects that I've noticed.

Back at work 3x4h per week since 2 weeks. Not really working - have tasks but initially no pressure of deadlines etc, doing stuff of the "it would be nice if..." type, and then using that to evaluate my usefulness/capacity.

Don't know why I've missed the hread previously - denial? - but good advice has been given. Do get that BP under control - the potential consequences are seriously unfun.
