I have a post about. Strokes as well. I had one o 9/10/23. My husband first thought I was having a seizure and than realized no this is different than usual it's stroke like and called the EMTS. Luckily for me I was able to get the drug for strokes that they give only if it's within 3 hours of the beginning. So I am working on strengthen my left side but it works fine. I do have some problems with my brain but I already had a bit of that. It's just worse. They say my brain will heal in time usually 3mo yo a year. I hope they are right. . Best of luck with your brain.
