Farley Cadena: From Stroke Survivor to Awareness Advocate

You know, try and make them feel that you know, don't, don't worry too much, you know I'll be all right and all that type of thing. And it's a good reminder for people to sort of some sort of sometimes say: you know what, I'm actually not all right Today.
What happens when an actor faces a life-altering stroke? Farley Cadena's journey is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of 'Recovery After Stroke', Farley opens up about his experience and how he transformed his recovery into a powerful one-person show to raise awareness about strokes. His story began with a stressful year and some health problems that led to his stroke. Despite experiencing warning signs like eye migraines, he was initially reluctant to seek medical help.
However, he eventually did and was quickly admitted to the hospital. The road to recovery wasn't smooth; Farley faced setbacks, including a seizure shortly after being released and battles with insurance companies over necessary speech therapy. Yet, he didn't let these obstacles deter him. Farley found solace and healing through creativity and mindfulness, setting goals that kept him motivated.
One of those goals was to create a show that would educate others about strokes and the importance of timely medical intervention. His journey underscores the need for greater awareness and funding for stroke recovery, reminding us all of the power of resilience and determination.
