I went to get an X-ray of my leg, but the surprise was something else entirely. They discovered a very large aneurysm in my brain, measuring 2.5 centimeters, while the normal size is only a few millimeters!”</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> He added: "The doctor looked at the x-rays and told me, 'You should have been dead when you were 5 or 6 years old!'
