In 1995 I had a brain heamorage and stroke at the age of 37yrs. It was pretty tough and I was in a really old shabby hospital. I was very frightened and quite a distanse from home. I had ct scans and the aweful mri's. Also they inserted a fine tube in my groin and fed the tube up to my brain. and sprayed my brain with some sort of dye to see what was going on. I was in for a few weeks and then I got home. I worked hard to walk, my left side was affected by the stroke, my left eye is still not as good as right eye. However The only difference you would notice on me is that my mouth is very slightly lower on the left than right. I am back to normal but it took a lot of hard work, but well worth it. Although I don't think I have ever been "normal" hahahahahaha. Take care of yourself.
