The Final Procedure
There was no telling what this time around would bring, but Donna wasn't worried. "In the weeks before the surgery," she recalled, "I felt at peace with whatever the outcome would be."

They successfully clipped it and Donna's life was saved. As she puts it "Had it not been for that arrow, I would have died from a brain tumor, a stroke, or an aneurysm!"
