Dear Fellow Warriors,
Here is my stroke story that befell me just over 2 years ago
Although I struggled, I hope it comes across as inspirational
Enjoy, Roland
The nightmare nobody wishes to confront. Well, On the 21st September, 2022 I suffered a massive stroke. On the American NIH scale it registered 26/42; indeed very acute, considering that anything over 20 is classed as severe. My blood pressure was 269/198 and that took 3 weeks in hospital to overcome. I then moved to a Rehabilitation centre, but despite the cheery moments you witness above, I was desperately unhappy and in tears most of the time. But since I survived my stroke, I was not about to put anything less than 200% effort into my rehab. Here are 44 days that I have not until now had the courage to relive. It is only after 2¼ years that I feel brave enough to face the trauma that befell me that fateful evening. Of particular note, my wife paid particular attention to my wonderful Chinese doctor that performed a unique procedure, something of a lost art in the world of stroke rehabilitation.
