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.

Handicap Parking
On Tuesday afternoon, Walter and I went to Walmart. To our
surprise, all the handicap parking spots were taken (about 20 of them). We had
to park in a spot away from other cars because I needed room to get in my
wheelchair. No walking for me because it was too far. Since all the handicap
spots were taken, I assumed I would see a lot of physically handicapped people
in Walmart (at least 20), but I didn’t. No people in wheelchairs, no people with
canes, and I only saw one person riding a powered cart. What have we become? I
blame the government and doctors for the problem.
