Bunnie Xo recently opened up to fans about a serious health scare that she described as a “death scare.”
Last month, Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, shared that she got some worrying news about her health after having “really weird headaches.” Because of this, Bunnie went in for an MRI/MRA and asked her followers for tips to cope with the scan because she is claustrophobic.
The tests indicated she might have a small two-millimeter aneurysm in her carotid artery.
Bunnie told fans that she has always been afraid of aneurysms because her mother had one. Because of the family medical history, Bunnie actually has an increased risk of rupture.
“Anybody that knows me knows that having an aneurysm is one of my biggest fears because my mom had one, and it actually ruptured, but she lived,” Bunnie said.
To get a second opinion, Bunnie saw a neurosurgeon to get tested with more contrast, which makes the images clearer. She then had another CT scan for a better look.
Bunnie then had a new update to share with fans shortly after.
“I went today and I saw my first neurosurgeon, and he was amazing…He told me that he does not think that it is an aneurysm. He also thinks that in six months, whenever I come back to retest and do another CT scan, that he will be able to prove that it is an artifact. His words were, ‘I don’t even know why the radiologist sent you in for this.'”
Now, Bunnie has shared a brand-new update about her health.
On the latest episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, she revealed a significant update to the scary situation.
After receiving the news about the potential aneurysm, Bunnie said there was “so many things” going through her mind.
“I instantly just hit my knees and started praying. I bawled my eyes out. I cried so hard, I pulled a muscle in my neck. I cried for three days,” Bunnie revealed.
She continued, “And I can’t sleep. I haven’t slept. I’m sweating so bad. I have diarrhea. I’m just, like, so freaked out and stressed out.”
That’s when she saw the neurologist and received some good news. He told her it wasn’t an aneurysm at all.
“He said, ‘I wish you had an aneurysm so I could fix your headaches.’ And I was just like, ‘Hey, homie. Slow your roll.’ I was like, ‘I’m good,'” Bunnie joked.
She also consulted “one of the best vascular surgeons in Nashville,” who confirmed, “There is nothing wrong with you. I’m clearing you.”
He explained that it was just a blood vessel matching the other side of her carotid artery. He even told Bunnie that if she wanted to play tackle football, she could.
Bunnie then reflected on the past eight days, saying it made her appreciate life more.
“I just wanna tell you that it made me appreciate life so much. And, like, I know it sounds dramatic, but it just really made me realize that none of this sh** fu***** matters, man…Family and the people that you love and the people that you surround yourself with every day is all that fu***** matters, dude.”
Bunnie also said that she has been cuddled up close to her husband, Jelly Roll, for the past few days.
