Defying the Odds: Delanie's Stroke Survival Journey

Delanie Stevenson, a former teacher and young mother of two at the time, shares her harrowing experience with an ischemic brain stem stroke at the age of 33. The episode recounts her unexpected symptoms, the urgent hospital trip, and her struggle with the 'locked-in' condition that left her initially unable to move or talk. Delaney also discusses her inspiration to recover, drawn from her sister who had survived a stroke a year prior. This shared family ordeal inadvertently prepared and motivated Delaney, transforming her recovery journey and leading her to pen her experiences in books and articles.
