"You don’t really appreciate it until it’s gone.
Until you go, ‘I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to see again, I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to hear again, I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to walk again.'"Here's what you should know about the disease that Kutcher was diagnosed with.According to the Mayo Clinic, vasculitis is an inflammation of blood vessels.
Officials with the Cleveland Clinic say vasculitis can affect all kinds of blood vessels, including the aorta, or the main blood vessel that leaves the heart."When inflamed, the blood vessels may become weakened and stretch in size, which can lead to aneurysms.
