A Massachusetts woman says an ordinary day turned into a medical emergency after she developed what she described as an unbearable headache that left her unable to stand and with only fragmented memories of the hours that followed. TikTok Aunt Julie – The Cat Sitter (@julienashawaty) shared a series of videos in July 2026 documenting her hospitalization after doctors diagnosed her with a brain aneurysm. In the videos, she recounts the frightening experience from her hospital bed while recovering.
According to Aunt Julie, the ordeal began shortly after she returned home from work. “I walked into the bedroom, and my head literally exploded,” she said. She said she rarely experiences headaches, making the sudden pain especially alarming.
