Fun days

This really doesn't have much to do with stroke but it kinda does too. Today my roommate and I went out to get her nails done for her birthday. We were close to the mall so I thought "hey lets go to the mall just for fun, not to buy anything, just to get out." But, of course we bought stuff (hair dye and shoes and piercings) and it felt really good to get out and do stuff. I told her we should do this at least once a month now just like a "roomie date." Then we went out to eat and just got to talk without worrying about school for a good 5 hours. It was great and I felt a little better about being back at school because I absolutely dreaded the thought of coming back (I just wanted to stay home and work). I'm really hoping we can do this more often because I really need it. I'm really hoping for a good semester. Oh and this is kind off topic but sometime in the next maybe 7 months I'll meet my boyfriend which makes me really excited for this semester. *crosses fingers*

Introduction

So I'm not really sure what to do with blogs, but I thought it'd be good for maybe inspirational uses. I'll start by introducing myself. My name is Lindsay and I am a 19 (almost 20) year old stroke survivor. In June of 2014, I suffered from a ischemic stroke. No one really thought it was a stroke until about 10 hours after I got to the ER (except my dad who brought me). Everyone was saying "she's too young" blah blah blah. But, honestly now I want to use my life to show that this can happen to anyone. I was completely healthy, my problem was that I had a hole in my heart that no one knew about (thankfully I got it fixed). I don't really have anything else to say right now. But I just wanted to introduce myself so you know the person who is telling you what its like to be a stroke survivor in college dealing with college-y and life stuff.
