Fuck you 2021, I lived
5 years ago
Fuck you hard 2021, you missed.
So yeah, apparently the year didn't like my comment that we survived 2020, and on January 2nd I had a completely out of nowhere stroke. I had lost all feeling on my left side and couldn't walk or hold onto anything, and I had to be medi-vac'd to a hospital 80 miles away, where I've been for the last three weeks.
Hospital wifi blocked FA so I couldn't update you guys until now.
Long story short, I had Hypertension and never realized it, and that's what caused the stroke. I was finally able to walk as of last week, and I'm able to use my left hand again, but I can't type nearly as fast or as well as I used to. I'll will have to end speed coms until I get full function back in my hand, which they say could take a few weeks to a few months. All in all, they said I was rather lucky, all things considered. It was a bleed and not a clot, so it didn't kill any part of my brain, it hit my left side, which is my non-dominant side, and it didn't knock out any organs like my lungs, kidneys or heart.
Even still, this knocked me on my ass for three weeks.
But, I'm home now, I haven't changed mentally or personality-wise, so I'm still me in here, and before anyone knows it, I'll hopefully be fully recovered on my leg and arm
So don't bury me yet, 2021 tried, but I'm not dead yet.

FA+

I’ve had a pretty crappy start to 2021 too,with some mental trama and a mental breakdown,but my friends were there for me.......
Hope you get better!
^_^
Still, I hope the best for your recovery, and hope this stroke is the only worst thing you'll face this entire year.
