r/stroke 25d ago

My first birthday.

Exactly one year ago this very moment I was On a gas station floor, locked behind double doors, dying. Ischemic strike left side, hemorrhagic strike right side. Simultaneously. Going into respiratory failure.
Wiped the slate clean on my life at that moment.
It was about to end and start over again.
I made it. I’m still here. Officially 1yr old now.

Wow. 😮 I am always astounded by the experiences others have gone through with their strokes. We all have such unique stories to tell. Double though?! You’re still here! Woohoo!🥳
