Episode 005. Emma Iremonger - A Brainstem Stroke Left her Unable to Speak or Move
Today on the show I speak with Emma, a mother in her mid-thirties, who shares her challenging journey of recovery after a severe stroke that left her unable to speak or move. We have an emotional discussion about her struggles with fatigue, sensory overload, sleep issues, and the toll of the ordeal.
Despite everything, Emma remains resilient and optimistic, because of the support she's received from her family, especially her husband. We also talk about her experience of long-distance travelling post-stroke and the support she has received from the ACC. A story of resilience, adaptation, and the power of a supportive network.
