The hardest part of my journey was when the first ambulance came to pick me up. Also, I was totally motionless and paralyzed.
Imagine being completely paralyzed yet fully aware of everything happening around you. That's the reality Duncan Campling faced when he was diagnosed with locked-in syndrome after a stroke in 2018. In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', Duncan opens up about his journey from total immobility to reclaiming parts of his life. Living in a nursing home and unable to go outside for nine months due to Covid restrictions, Duncan's story is a powerful testament to human resilience.
He talks candidly about the challenges he faces, from severe swallowing difficulties to profound emotional shifts. But it’s not just about the struggles; Duncan also highlights the critical role of support systems and expert medical opinions in his recovery. This episode sheds light on the broader issues stroke survivors often encounter, such as navigating medical insurance and dealing with limited access to fresh air.
Duncan’s experience serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with the aftermath of a stroke, showing that even in the darkest times, recovery and progress are possible.
