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 later
