Jill Taylor’s experience going through a stroke was very sad, but she made it seem humerous in a way. It was crazy how she described her body and brain going through an actual stroke and how she lost 37 years of her life in a blink of her eye. I liked how she described how the two sides of the brain have different personalities and she was lost when she had a brain hemorhage explode in the left side. I couldn’t imagine being totally disconnected from the world and have to recover from it for years.
