Its time to talk…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
