Blog #3


My friend John suffered an ischemic stroke 4 years ago that changed his life tremendously. The doctors told him it was a possibility he would not survive because the stroke was so severe and because of multiple hemorrhages in his brain. He was monitored over night and pulled through. The doctors were amazed; they said no one with a stroke of that magnitude doesn’t survive. Today after the stroke he is left with mental issues that will not allow him to make rational decisions. He does not understand how significant the stroke changed his way of thinking. He tries but don’t realize or understand his decisions are not normal. He becomes angry and aggressive because of frustration when he realizes his decisions made his situation worse than before. He will never be the same person unless by chance he gets another miracle which one day can happen.
