Default Life can change in an instant

A day in late February of this year started the same as any other. I was having a coffee and pottering about on my computer doing some light work. I felt absolutely fine and normal. Then, I started to feel a little unwell and within 30 seconds I was unconscious. Some time later, I recovered consciousness as a stroke survivor

I went from someone who hadn't seen a doctor in years, to a regular out patient at the hospital. Since February, a week hasn't passed without some form of test or scan in a multitude of hospital departments. Crazy.

If it's possible to be fortunate after having a stroke, then I think I am. I still have full speech and control over my limbs, but it's changed me and my life in many other different ways.

I have learnt some important lessons on real priorities. I don't want this to be a pity me situation, but I do want to make people aware of how quickly things can change outwith our control. Live every moment as if it could be your last
