As you know my stoke happened 1.5 years ago on November 11 2022. I went into take a nap and came out and told my wife I didn’t feel good. She’s a nurse as a matter of fact the chief nurse at the local hospital.
She recognized something was wrong right away.She got me to the Emergency Room right away.There they diagnosed me pretty quickly. I was transferred to a bigger hospital and I would be there a month. There the first doctor told my wife I had locked in syndrome to, put me on comfort care and let me die. Before the stroke I was active doing jiu-jitsu at least 4 times a week,coaching and playing with the soccer team, trap running and mountain biking. I was also working on my masters in counseling.
Any I spent almost a month in the hospital and 5 months in rehabilitation. My wife has been my biggest advocate.It has been a long slow journey.
