My Haemorrhage Stroke

Its time to talk…

I want everyone to know that I have made a good recovery, with the love and support of therapists, family and friends. I am back at work part time, I am so grateful I am still making progress and feel finding my way. I have very been left with mild Aphasia, but I am here…meet Lindsay V.2

A hemorrhagic stroke, also known as a brain hemorrhage, is a type of stroke that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing bleeding into the brain tissue. This bleeding can put pressure on the brain, causing damage to brain cells. Hemorrhagic strokes are less common than ischemic strokes, which are caused by a blockage in a blood vessel in the brain. However, hemorrhagic strokes are more likely to be fatal, and they can cause more severe long-term disabilities than ischemic strokes.

On 25th April 2023 was working at my studio as usual because my parents live close by I went to see them after work. We shared a cup tea and a catch up sitting round the dining table if was probably around 6pm when I world turned up side down…

“I am have trouble with my wordssss”

“My words”

“I can’t form”

“I’m can’t”

“Am I having a stroke?”

“I am having a stroke”

“I havin……g a stroke”

“I a ha….vi…..ng a strok”

“I a hav a stro”

“I a ha a st”

“no”

“ohhhh no”

Below you will see images of my brain ( top down and sideway on), the white blob is the bleed.

Symptoms of a hemorrhagic stroke can vary depending on the location and severity of the bleeding. However, some common symptoms include:

  • Sudden, severe headache
  • Vomiting
  • Nausea
  • Slurred speech
  • Dizziness
  • Confusion
  • Weakness or numbness on one side of the body
  • Loss of consciousness

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to reduce the risk of death and disability.

A little me time doing what I love

I headed off to the North Norfolk coast this weekend, one of my favourite places to see the Seals. We kept our distance as to not disturb the new mums (we know the mums will abandon their pups if they feel threatened in anyway). We were not disappointed the beaches were full of groaning, lolloping huffing bulls and cows with just born pups suckling and yelping. The scene was so heart warming even with the sea mist it was a magical sight.

Here are a few pics (taken long distance on my 200mm)…
