This entry chronicles my memories of the day I first left the hospital to return home. Suddenly, thoughts of my house surface. On that day, just before my stroke, my home must have been its usual peaceful self.
The same house. And that day was also just like any other. It was my last day at work before being rushed to the hospital due to the stroke. I likely finished work and returned home as usual that day. But my body was already showing unusual signs. My children were the first to notice. “Dad’s saying strange things.” “Dad can’t speak properly.” Even in their young eyes, it was clear I wasn’t my usual self. And then someone said, “We need to go to the hospital.”
Frankly, I don’t remember much of what I was thinking that day. Due to the brain damage, those memories are still hazy. My speech was probably slurred, and my movements awkward. As the stroke gradually progressed, I must have felt my thoughts blurring and my body acting strangely, but I didn’t perceive it as serious. I might have simply thought it was due to fatigue. Looking back now, it’s truly regrettable and I’m filled with remorse that I didn’t recognize my own symptoms.
That day, my wife had evening plans with friends. I probably worked late that day too. Before the stroke, I had too much work, a lot of stress, and frequent headaches. But I dismissed all of it as trivial. I ignored it, thinking it was just fatigue. Still, I came home from work and was with my children. It must have been an ordinary evening.
But my children noticed. They thought, “Dad is strange.” Their innocent perception accurately pinpointed my condition. And they called an ambulance. From that moment, my life completely changed. The road the ambulance took, with its sirens wailing, carrying me to the hospital, became a turning point in my life. The memory of that day is a distressing one for me. Regret washes over me, wondering what if I had recognized my body’s warning signs and taken action earlier.
Now, I remember more than I did that day, and I can speak. Through stroke rehabilitation, I’m gradually regaining the functions I lost. But even now, thinking about that day leaves me feeling unwell. The self-reproach of having caused great pain to my family due to my carelessness and inattention weighs heavily on me.
I need to think a little more and then I will continue my story. Through this experience, I keenly felt the importance of stroke warning signs and the necessity of early diagnosis and treatment. I hope my story serves as a wake-up call for others and makes them reflect once more on the preciousness of health.
