Paralysed three weeks after giving birth: Becki’s recovery story

I suffered a Stroke at 28, a bleed on the brain on my left side. I was paralyzed down my right side, lost my speech, the ability to read or write, my logic reasoning, a weird spacial awareness issue on my right side and became excessively light sensitive. <br><br>It&#39;s good to see that waiting times to see certain professionals has improved. It took 6 weeks for the Stroke Consultant to see me on the ward, 4 weeks to see a speech therapist. By then with my own recovery schedule and the ward physios, I had regained my speech to the level of 3 syllable words and was walking with a stick. I left the hospital 2 weeks later. 20 years later, I still don&#39;t know why it happened. <br><br>I found the Stroke scary but strangely surreal, losing things I took for granted Recovery is hard. It&#39;s still part of my life even now. I feel I was lucky to have it relatively young because I was able to recover fairly quickly. But every Stroke is different and it affects survivors in different ways. <br><br>Unfortunately it can be fatal too. Or leave a devastating impact on individuals and their families. But I feel blessed I survived and I am stronger for it.
