Stroke Survivor Story 

The brain is an amazing piece of organ that not much credit is given. The way it rewired and repair itself after an injury is amazing to me.

I had a severe stroke four years ago. I was in the hospital for six weeks and was left with cognitive and motor deficits. I’m in the medical field and I starting doing a lot of research on Growth Hormone. I started taking it in May 2022 and five months later I’m completely healed! No more balance problems, cognitive impairments, and my stamina is through the roof. I never sit down all day now!

1 year after my stroke I am atragglin with my walk an cant use left hand still. One day... PLEASE GOD! one day i'll be me again . Good to see Carlos recovering.

I had a stroke 2 years ago and was sent to St. Luke's Baptist Hospital. I had to learn how to talk, walk, use my right arm, write, type, and drive again. It was the scariest experience of my life. The amazing staff at St. Luke's saved my life. They saved my life and my kids didn't lose their mama. I am forever grateful to everyone who cared for me and I am truly blessed. Thank you St. Luke's! ❤❤❤

Thanking God this morning for this man and his wife sharing their story. It gives me so much hope for my Uncle John who suffered a hemorrhagic stroke on 9/7/23 at 3am. Please pray for him, my Aunt Stacie and their families as we journey through this together. God is so graceful, merciful and He is faithful… the only One in control of all. God takes a tiny acorn and grows a mighty oak tree so this is small for Him. Please help us continue to pray for our Conley family. Heavenly Father, as I bow before You as humbly as I know how, I beg You for Your guidance, Your understanding and Your healing power over John. I thank You for ALL that You’ve already restored in his life, especially Heather & Jay. Please continue healing John according to Your Will and plan, speak Your words and truth to his heart, keep his mind open to YOU Father. I know that we are created to worship You and our lives are meant for You… nothing of this world matters. Jobs, material possessions and money do not matter -ONLY YOU Father. I will forever shout Your name for all the healing You have graciously given to me. Use me whenever You need me. I’ll forever praise You. In Jesus’ precious and holy name I beg, Amen.

I’m 68. Had a stroke 3 months ago I’m working hard but it’s the support of my wife of 38 years and my 6 kids that makes me work hard

I had a stoke in December 17, 2022. My right side is numb and speech is slurred GOD BLESS YOU CARLOS🙏

I had a stroke how much four years ago.. It was very bad. Still don’t do much speech at all.. All I can do is pray…. Every day I keep praying.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I've had 4 strokes from a blood clot caused from a 3rd degree burn which infected my mitral valve from pumping blood properly.. my thrombectomy and open heart surgery saved my life...its been the hardest days ever since 3 weeks ago..yale new haven sved me but I just wish I can be normal again

My sister just had a stroke this week she lost mobility in her right arm and leg. I'm terrified that she won't be able to recover but so thankful she's still here and was given the chance to recover. The worst part of the whole thing (for me) is I'm in Virginia and she lives in New York I can't even see her or talk to her. But it's nice to see stories like this and know she may some day overcome these obstacles. I love my big sister with all my heart and I'm so proud of her.

My dad had a stroke and since he was at the time independent and was still working he was by himself we don’t know when it happened and how long he was like that until my sister came home she found him inside his truck we think he was trying to take himself to the hospital he’s left arm and leg were paralyzed he was able to recover thanks to this amazing recovery hospital in Pasadena he end up with Aphasia due to the length he was by himself but Thank God he’s walking moving all his body parts this happened in 2018 now 2022

I feel so happy to know that stroke patients will finally be able to recover again because I too had stroke on the 2 of April 2021 but like all the stories I have heard mine seemed different because I didn’t get any symptoms at all I was actually training for cna and I had a plate of food for residents and suddenly I saw myself fall face down and the ambulance was called in and I woke up after like 2 months in hospital and it was then I was told I had stroke and that when the ambulance brought me in that they tried getting a scan to see what was going on with me but that I was kicking and punching so they couldn’t do much until I went into a coma and I kept asking why I wasn’t sedated to get the scans they needed but alas it was a question that actually came too late because if it was done perhaps a lot of damage could have been saved but eventually the neurologist and his team had to perform a cranium surgery to save me but I ended up with a left side paralysis and right now I’m battling with my vision and also have to deal with seizures though I’m thankful to God and the medical doctors for doing their best to save me but right now I feel my life is now a mess but then I’m still thankful

I had a stroke. The second was worse. For 8 months all l did was scream because l had horrible pain any time l moved. Finally l tried an anti-inflammatory, it worked.

I'm so sorry your family have to go through this, thank God at the end everything back to normal.

He is so GOOD .. PRAY Every day…

Glad you’re on the road to recovery brother! Stay strong

May you recover fully. praying for you

Holy cow Chuck many prayers for you, Mariah and the boys man. Glad to see you’re on the road to recovery 🙏🙏

#BaptistHealthSA My Husband had a Massive Stroke as well in “2016” I knew he was ok at 4:06 am because he took his right foot with his toenail and scratched my right left leg. I told him to quit playing it’s not funny. Although I didn’t see him. I knew he was good at that time because he could move his right leg, laughed and spoke to me. At 6:02 am I heard a thump. I told him if he was playing I was going to hit him this time. ( joking of course) I thought he would respond I heard our beagle barking so I jumped up and found my husband exactly as you said. Flailing around. He couldn’t get the TPA because I did not have a visual on him at 4:06 am they couldn’t conclude he was visually ok at that time. But they gave me the option and stated if I’m off he could bleed to death. So our six kids and his mother and I talked and we all agreed just in case, we all decided against it! They had the Best Rehabilitation Center where he was at. They said he will probably go straight from the hospital to rehab and probably wouldn’t live past a year! We are in 2021 he has difficulty with his speech, but his memory is still sharper than mine. He went in the hospital on “09/30/2016” was home on “11/02/2016” a little over 30 days! I told him he had to fight or he will not be able to come home w/o Home Health care! He fought and WON! I make my husband carry a card that he can show the police if he ever got pulled over stating he has Aphasia/difficulty speaking but understands everything you say just give him time to respond. It has his name DOB ADDRESS and me as his Emergency contact along with his 2 oldest son’s. Oh mind you not our dog was stuck to him like glue for 7 days prior. She knew she is not allowed to cross the threshold of our bedroom door. She had her bed in the living room. After we fell asleep she dragged her bed in our room and slept at the foot of his side of the bed. It was as if she knew!!That’s how come I heard her barking so loudly! The sound of him falling with her barking woke me up! Our dog was 15. She died 1 year later of Cancer. The same month my husband came home 11/2016. Thank you for sharing your personal information on such a devastating day! Just out of curiosity how is his short term memory? Oh does he still have bad days still?

So happy for you guys.

I had a stroke in 2017. I'm still recovering!

Thank you for sharing your story gives me hope. December this year had a stroke unable to. use left leg and left arm. Looking to other stroke survivors for hopeful future.

Awe, Carlos and Mariah we will be sending our love and prayers. We want to to go see you all when you all are ready

Awesome brother

🙏 amen !!! Stay strong Carlos

We are praying for you Carlos!! From the Dominguez Family❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love you so much Tio❤

Praise God Carlos has recovered due to everybody's quick thinking 🙏❤️ Studies have shown that the brain dosnt continue fixing itself Its called Neuroplasticity

My husband suffered a right brain stroke. His left side is affected and he’s a lefty. He’s recovering but his short temper and inability to reason, understand, and compromise has gone out the window most days. He’s extremely negative and mean. My patience is wearing thin and I’m so hurt emotionally. I remind myself that he’s the one who’s sick and needs my help, but his words and actions proves he knows hat he’s saying and doing. I’m afraid I’m going to suffer a stroke with all the stress and emotional abuse. How do I deal with his behavior?

Prayers to you Carlos & Mariah 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾I had a stroke to my left side last year in June on my birthday. I appreciate life so much more taking it one day @ time BLESSINGS TO U🙌🏾🙌🏾

Back in 2008, my grandmother went through this and she was perfectly healthy and never drank and never smoked... Unfortunately she did not make it and arteries kept bursting in her brain and she succumbed to amyloidosis. It was attacking her brain. This disease can affect any organ in the body but in her case it was the brain and somebody asked if there is some kind of surgery they could do but they said no because in this case it was a genetic factor. I am so happy for Carlos and I will keep I will keep him in my thousands of prayers every week❤️‍🩹
