I found this:
"In 1988, Joe Biden was experiencing neck pains and headaches. He did not know it then but soon his life would change due to aneurysms. An aneurysm is a weak spot on an artery which can lead the artery to break. In his case, the artery broke in his brain. It is a form of a stroke which has a high fatality rate."
"Following a February speech in New York, Biden passed out in his hotel. He was unconscious for five hours. He later required two brain surgeries for aneurysms, one which had already broken and another which had the potential to break. The surgeries saved his life. He initially had common physical effects of stroke such as a facial droop. Following 6 months of recovery, he was cleared to return to work."
You lose, iirc 1.6 MILLION neurons PER MINUTE during a stroke event.
So Biden was down for @ 300 minutes + time in transit to hospital, time to diagnose and begin treatment, etc.
You can regenerate some neurons but that's a lot of brain damage
One of the potential results from either a ruptured aneurysm or aneurysm surgery is abnormal sexual behavior. That's what they told my husband, anyway, before his surgery.
