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.
This is my two year anniversary being a stroke survivor. I
am thankful to say that I survived a massive
stroke. Unfortunately, I’m in a funk, both physically and mentally.
I’m hoping writing this blog will help me rekindle my spirits.
