Nothing could prepare me for the vertigo effects of the stroke I had. I can think of nothing more terrifying thinking I just had an ear infection. And waking up in the morning expecting to feel better and the world just spinning. I could only drink water, because I couldn't keep anything down. I could not walk, I had to crawl. I had to call an ambulance, clean myself up as best as I could. Prop myself by my apartment buzzer to let the ambulance crew in. (Waiting 90 minutes, while the very nice girl at 911 kept calling me back).
When the crew got to my apartment, I was like a guy who drank 3 bottles of scotch. They had to walk me downstairs to the ambulance, while they took me to VGH. You need to take for granted the simple things like walking, running, etc. As it took me about 2 months to walk normally. 6 Months to jog. I'm am thankful it was a mild stroke and my life is pretty much back to normal. But that's something I never want to have happen again.
