I went to the Massachusetts general hospital on February 18 of 2002. My surgeon clips my carotid artery causing a major stroke. I couldn't move the left side of my body. Suddenly I was in a wheelchair. I used my right arm and right leg so when nobody was helping me, I would go in circles like a dog chasing its own tail.
Even thought my prognosis wasn’t good I was able regain movement in my left leg. However, my left arm is still paralyzed and I’m still legally blind which means I have no peripheral vision.
I was an independent person almost graduating from Physiology. My life changed completely. Now I love to work in crafts, teach small kids, listen to music, and Netflix . When I dream, I am an artistic swimmer.
