I usually don’t share personal details but this may inspire some folks! I has a stroke May 7, 2025. I apparently had it in my sleep because I remember going to bed the night before. My friend told me that when I did not show up for work (very unlike me), he came over to check on me. The sheriff had to be called because they had to break into my home where they found me. I was in a come until the end of June. I could not walk or talk when I first woke up. I had to do a lot of rehab. I guess my point is make sure someone in your life knows your wishes. I had nothing set up and my family had to start a gofundme because they could not access anything. I have made my wishes known now because you just never know! If you live alone, like me, it’s important that someone knows your wishes. I’ve come pretty far in a relatively short time. I credit hard work and just overall stubbornness. I was not ready to give up my life. Talk to the people in your life and make sure they know what you want. You never know when they will need to know!
