I had one in 2022. A large clot got stuck at where the left M1 bifurcates and it was rattling back and forth. They told my family that there was about an 87% I wouldnt make it through the thrombectomy and if I did I would only be a vegetable.

As far as vegetables go Id say Im doing pretty good. I couldnt speak at all at first. Language and executive never fully returned but most other things got better pretty quickly.

You may notice things you havent yet noticed but still have recovery up to two years. At least thats what they say. I would say I still saw recovery nearly three. If something doesnt come back quite the right way theres still time.

I am excited that you haven’t given up. I am a big believer in God for those things that are impossible and which usually take time.

Instantaneously is just fine, but longer term recovery makes us grateful... and more confident. in my humble opinion.
