I had a stroke at 11:20am this morning. Fortunately I was already at the hospital for a routine checkup on a fracture, when I felt a sharp pain in my head, and people noticed typical stroke symptoms with myself. It led to a clot in my head which has been cleared with a fairly routine operation apparently for sufferers like myself.
I’m 35 and thought this has happened very early in my life. So has anyone else had one pre-40 and how did your life change? I’m due to start physiotherapy tomorrow morning, and meet a speech and language professional to ensure my speech returns to how it has been in the past.
I’ve huge admiration for NHS England that have been treating me through all this and have been outstanding in care provided!
