I thought I would take some time and try to put into words what it's like to survive a stroke. Use the comments section below to tell me your version. So here goes!
One second your living your life as normal, walking, talking, your brain controlling your body flawlessly, working as one without any thought to whats happening. THEN..................STROKE OR ALSO KNOWN AS A BRAIN ATTACK!
Your life as you knew it ends........
Your now someone completely different! As if your old self dies and you emerge a stroke survivor. For me waking up for the first time knowing something is really wrong with me. You can't move the left side of your body. Your paralyzed, you can't walk anymore, you can't speak intelligible words, your brain seems to be totally disconnected from your body. You can no longer write but can only make only squiggly lines. You can no longer hold the courser of a mouse on a computer because you now tremor so badly. You can't chew or swallow anymore.......scary.... yes! Can't even put words together that would describe the fear you feel.
All you can think about is what just happened! You were just fine one minute and now your laying in a hospital bed with all kinds of beeping machines hooked to you! I mean you can't fathom the fear!
TO BE CONTIUED
