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.

The Old Way
When will we get back to normal? I’ve asked that question a
lot these past three years. I used to work, drive, garden, knit, crochet, cook,
etc… That was the old way “normal” three years ago. Now “normal” is staying at
home every day, a ride on my scooter to check the garden, watching my husband
do all the house chores I can’t do. When I first realized my limitations I was
grieving losing the old way. I had to create a new way “normal”, and I did just
that.
