So, especially with the stroke thing, it's been a blessing in disguise, because I've learned a lot about myself that I didn't know, and some of it's pretty good.
Imagine the shock of experiencing a stroke while simply taking a shower. That’s exactly what happened to Frank Mills, a former musician whose life took an unexpected turn due to a spontaneous vertebral artery dissection. In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', Frank recounts his dramatic journey from the emergency room to the long road of recovery. Despite an initial pre-diabetes diagnosis, Frank's stroke demanded immediate medical attention, leading him to retire and focus on his health.
He shares how a swift CT scan was crucial in his post-stroke care, allowing for timely intervention. Frank dives into the ups and downs of physical therapy, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and a positive mindset. He also discusses how quitting sugar and cutting down on carbs significantly aided his recovery, along with the often-overlooked role of good sleep.
But perhaps most touching is how Frank found solace and healing in music, using it as a therapeutic tool during his rehabilitation. This episode offers a wealth of practical advice and heartfelt stories, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating stroke recovery or supporting a loved one through it. Frank's story is not just about overcoming physical hurdles but also about finding new ways to thrive after life-altering events.
