March 21, 2026 marked my 7 year strokiversary! Although I feel grateful for my stroke in so many ways because it has had such a positive impact on how I've lived my life after it (and I'm completely fine, which is such a lucky thing to be able to say), if I could change one thing it would be my appreciation for the gravity of the situation once it happened, as I was completely ignorant to the signs that it was a stroke and feel I risked my life (and the life of others since I drove a car) as it happened.
Events like these raise awareness of the warning signs and as a result SAVE LIVES. Please help me help others be more likely to have an outcome like mine by recognizing the signs of a stroke and acting on them!
