It was after a reportage trip for Go'kväll that Inger Ljung Olsson came home and felt that something was not right.
She had a headache the whole way home.
When she got home she lay down on the sofa and after that everything went quickly.
- My husband noticed that "she does not usually whine this much".
He came and sat down and asked how it really was with me.
Then I do not remember anymore, she says in Ask the doctor.
Operated the same evening
Thanks to her husband, she quickly came to the hospital.
The doctors determined that she had a meningeal haemorrhage, a haemorrhage in the subarachnoid space of the brain.
The operation took place the same evening, then she lay asleep with a respirator for three weeks.
- Then I got pneumonia and blood poisoning.
It is apparently very common to get pneumonia when you are on a respirator.
"Told everyone I was in Ystad"
Once she woke up, she remembered nothing of what had happened.
- I told everyone that I was in Ystad.
My husband and sister made a point of calling me and asking where I was.
60% of the time I said I was in Ystad, she says.
High mortality
In the majority of cases, cerebral hemorrhage is caused by a carotid hernia, or aneurysm, from the major arteries of the brain.
The mortality rate is 30-40%.
- I realize what luck I had in many ways.
I was in good hands.
My husband was quick to get me to the hospital.
I can move, I can talk, I can see.
There is so much that can happen.
Now work training, a few hours every day, is waiting at the SVT house in Umeå.
- It feels great, she says.
