My name is Amanda Kirton and I survived a hemorrhagic stroke. "What is a hemorrhagic stroke?", you ask. My brain was filling up with blood. I was fortunate to be in Georgetown's Hospital when it happened. I came to the hospital complaining of stomach pain but it turns out I had a stroke instead. Georgetown Hospital immediately transferred me to St. Davids Main. I had all the bells and whistles. Too bad I didn't wake up for it. I will never forget July 26, 2017. The beginning of my new life.

I’m Done!
I’m done with therapy. I appreciate & love all the
therapists that worked with me throughout my recovery. I know I wasn’t always
the easy loveable patient that I portray now. Rehab Without Walls discharged me
after five months, and I told my therapists that I was going to take some time
off from therapy. My therapists got me to agree to resume outpatient physical
therapy after one month. But I don’t want to do it. I talked to all my doctors,
and as long as I continue walking and working my arm as much as I do, I won’t
need therapy. (Even Dr. Urquidez said this!)
