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 Died Twice!
January 6, 2018 was just like any other day, I got up, peed,
& cleaned my teeth. After I cleaned my teeth I thought I would just go to
sleep. Walter found me in the bathroom, unconscious, slumped over my wheelchair,
within 10 minutes. He immediately called 911 & I was rushed to the
hospital. Again bells & whistles but I wasn’t awake.

5 Weeks in ICU
I
spent 6 weeks at St. Davids, 5 of them were in the Intensive Care Unit. I don't
remember much about the ICU, my family said I was a pain (I know, hard to
believe).
