I knew if I wanted to get back to the life I loved before the recovery was up to me.
Imagine being a respiratory therapist, used to seeing others fight for their lives, and then finding yourself in the same battle. This is the reality for Sam Hanes, who experienced a brain bleed due to an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and faced the daunting diagnosis of four aneurysms. Over five years, Sam has undergone a craniotomy and gamma knife treatment, transforming from a healthcare provider to a stroke survivor.
In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', Sam opens up about the emotional rollercoaster that followed his stroke. The physical hurdles were tough, but it was the emotional upheaval that truly tested his resilience. Sam shares how he navigated these turbulent waters by educating his family and caregivers, connecting with fellow survivors, and finding a renewed sense of purpose. His story isn't just about survival; it's about thriving against the odds.
Whether you're a stroke survivor, a caregiver, or someone looking for inspiration, Sam's journey offers valuable insights into coping with the emotional toll of stroke recovery.
