I'm sorry to hear that it has been so bad for you. I was a little more lucky. I had a stroke on June 27, 2017. As soon as I made it to the emergency room, I had all the classic signs. They rushed me in right away. Soon they had me take an aspirin, do a CT scan, and pumped clot busting meds in me. In all, I was there for 9 days. Then on 7/15 I was in for 4 days more. Had some mini strokes. They did a TEE on me, and found out I was born with a PFO [hole in the heart] which has been causing clots all my life. [I had a stroke also when I was 15] Lots of physical therapy, but you'd hardly notice to look at me now. But I can still tell....

Well then, you've been given a second chance. Make the best of it.

@SINAI I lost the chance to see or do anything when I had a stoke. It'll be a part of my life and alter it forever.

@CitizenThane Hmm, you're gonna have to figure it out.

@CitizenThane I made sure I had my bipolar meds before I went to the hospital. I couldn't dare let that get out of hand. It would have been a lost cause otherwise.
