Day 5 — What I Saw From My Hospital Bed

Here's something that still bothers me.

While I was lying in the hospital after my stroke, I kept seeing television warnings about Eylea, one of the eye medications I'd received.

Stroke was one of the risks mentioned.

I remember thinking, why didn't I understand that risk before?

Would I have made the same decision if I'd known?

No. I wouldn't have.

I'm not saying those injections caused my stroke. I don't know that.

But I do know what I went through, and I know how different my life is today.

And I have every right to tell that story.
