I'm taking part in the Swim for Stroke challenge!
I joined #TeamStroke for Swim for Stroke.
Stroke Association is here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, so we work with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support. We rely on your support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.
On 18th July 2015 , I went to bed with a headache ( no other problem ) my family could not wake me up after few hours in bed.
My husband rang 999, who sent rapid response bike also a ambulance. They could not wake me up. They spent several hours try to stable me. I was airlifted to hospital by Wiltshire Air ambulance. When I got to hospital I had test,scans which showed I had a cerebellum stroke. I was in ITU for 15 days then another 2 was on ward. I recovered well.
My world fell apart again on 21st July 2016. I somehow managed to get legionnaires disease. Which also caused me to have another stroke. My family wold were thrown upside-down as they were told I had a slim chance of serving, hospital wanted to put a DNR in place.
I LUCKILY SURVIVED, I AM LEFT WITH WEIGHT , BALANCE, MEMORY PROBLEMS ALSO BLADDER PROBLEMS. BUT AT LEAST IM HER
