🌍🧠 On World Stroke Day, we celebrate the resilience, recovery and strength of stroke survivors. Meet Emily - a young stroke survivor whose journey inspires us every single day! ✨
"I'm Em, and I had my stroke 3 years ago- at just 26 years old. As a young, active elementary teacher, it was the last thing I ever expected or could have prepared for.
My whole life was flipped upside down in minutes, and with the support of family, friends and my physio team I've learned the true power of community, healing, and not feeling alone.🫂🫶🏼
Through my recovery, I've learned patience and the importance of giving my new body some grace. Setting small goals throughout rehab has helped me grow physically, cognitively, and emotionally.
Life will throw us curveballs- but with resilience, patience, and finding the right community of people by your side, your potential is endless. 💪🏼
Sending love to all my fellow stroke survivors today. You are stronger than you know, and when you don't feel strong, just know you are not alone." ♥️
