Stroke survivor

Sunday 14th Jan
Hi my name is Lauri Callaghan and I am 28 and I am a stroke survivor when I was 15 I had a stroke due to a blood clott in my brain that travelled due to a hole in the heart that was never found up until the day the stroke happened I was left with right side mobility issues but eventually got all my mobility back with only a 5 second delay when using my right hand this causes me little to no problems except from my friends and family have a joke about it because I am clumsy I also have a laugh about this too. I had a heart operation to have a device put into my heart to prevent any more strokes in future it's been 13 years on the 16th January 2024 and even now I am so thankful and grateful to be healthy and not affected by my stroke.
