This whole time, I was aware I had a brain injury, and I had accepted it. It was, put plainly – an aneurysm. It was only yesterday, however, did I realise I had a stroke. I am still in shock, to be honest. Think about it. You hear of strokes happening to older adults. Those who were stressed, over 80, did not sleep correctly, etc. But, in my mind, it definitely didn’t occur to young people. So what the hell happened in my case?!
2017 – What a significant year this was for me. Unfortunately, it was both good and bad.
I was excited about the direction my life was going. Became a qualified teacher, received a promotion and was financially stable – thinking about the future. I even went on three holidays back to back in summer!
However, in October 2017, that was the month I almost died. The month I survived a traumatic brain injury. Life has not been the same since then. Now I am on a new journey.
