When I stopped thinking about what it was like to be me before my stroke and after stroke, when I stopped thinking of those people as two different people and just said: well, I am what I am and everything that's happened in between now and being born, it's just made me who I am, for the good and for the bad.
Picture this: you're having a blast at a music festival, and days later, your world turns upside down with a sudden brain bleed. That's exactly what happened to Leigh Cleary at the age of 39.
