I was told by my psychiatrist to go and have a neuropsychological assessment, and when I booked one in, I didn't realize it was going to take Nine Months to see that person on the public system here in Australia, but I would have happily paid upfront to see one in a week, but I didn't have the.
Picture this: two individuals, each grappling with their own life-altering health crises, meet in a rehab facility and find love amidst their struggles. That's the heartwarming story of Chris and Kara Russo. Kara faced the aftermath of a massive stroke, while Chris was left paralyzed following a coma induced by meningitis and encephalitis. Despite these daunting challenges, they found each other, fell in love, and wrote a book about their incredible journey.
In this episode, they open up about the realities of stroke recovery, shedding light on the often invisible disabilities that survivors face. They delve into the emotional and financial impacts, and the crucial role caregivers play in the recovery process.
