| Amy Shissler My Cerebellar Stroke Recovery |
I’m pretty smart. One of the biggest things that annoyed me, and still annoys me to this day – you know what, A LOT of stuff has annoyed me. A LOT. I mean I had a stroke at age 30, that’s pretty annoying. But this has been one of the biggest annoyances. I lost nothing cognitively. I was not affected cognitively whatsoever. But a lot of people treated me like I was. I can certainly understand being treated that way the first few months because my brain was recently massively injured – that’s gonna cause some immediate cognitive issues. But after a few months, my cognition was fine. I still said and did weird shit, couldn’t help it, but I wasn’t stupid - I was injured. Don’t treat someone like they are any less intelligent, they’re not. You have absolutely NO idea what’s going on in their head.
