20220206 : 3rd Strokevarsary!

Today is my  3rd strokeversary . 1,095 days (well 1,095.75 days 🙄).  Unbelievable for me, but I have survived another year.  It has been a hard year!  Physically - it has been what it has been.  Mentally - it has been much much harder! I could not have made it without the Love, affection, patience and care of my Wife , my Kids , my Family , my Friends , my therapist , my several nurses , my various Doctors , support of many of you well wishers and lastly (but not the least) - our Dog ! Rather than write some boring stuff describing my experiences the last year (which I have done no short job of - I assume), I thought I should share a sort of - objective view of the progress in the last year.  A sort of " Report Card " on the year if you will.

20210206 : my 2nd Strokeversary...

Good day to you all. Today is my 2nd Strokeversary I had a massive bascilar stroke on 6th feb 2019. I was 43yrs then and led a reasonably healthy lifestyle. It was just a freak incident... By the time my family and friends took me to 2 hospitals, did mri scans, got opinions , ambulance confusions etc . I think it was about 7 hours before i landed up with surgery for removing the clot. Given the state of things, i am surprised it was even managed by that time and i am grateful for my family and friends and the doctors who treated me. They say i was consciousness next day, but i was in some other land of hallucinations and imaginations and don't recollect anything for the 3 weeks in ICU and incoherent understanding for another 2 Weeks. After that my mind has been perfectly alright till date  The body however is a whole other story..  After i had the stroke, i had no movement at all. For a few weeks, i could only blink my eyes. I couldn't move the eyeballs either.... 2 years late...
