Lizzy Lou Remembers

This Book is a story about having a stroke at 19 years of age.

Key points in this story include:

  • Had a bad headache and passed out.
  • My last memory was being in an ambulance. Woke up 9 weeks later in hospital.
  • Spent a year learning to walk, talk and eat again.
  • My memory was like a goldfish, I didn't recognise my boyfriend or my house.
  • They said I would never be my old self; my future was working in supported employment.
