It blew me away to learn that about you, because you seem like the picture of health now. What happened?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was walking with my mom in Mountain View getting breakfast bagels, and then back at my apartment I started collapsing. My right side was going completely numb and my face was drooping on one side. I was conscious, but couldn\u2019t talk \u2013 every sound was incredibly amplified, including my heartbeat. Then I was rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What were the next couple days like for you?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the first 12 hours I wasn\u2019t Lauren. I was just energy and only saw in pictures. I couldn&#8217;talk at all. You feel like you\u2019re underwater and you can\u2019t hear very well, but the inside of your body is more elevated. People would talk to me and they\u2019d sound washed out. Then slowly I was able to make some noises.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By the next night, I could form sentences, but not fluidly. Every stroke patient gets a laminated page with 6 random words on one side, and pictures on the other. We had the baseball game on the entire time in my hospital room, and one of the words on this laminated page was baseball player. I studied that one really hard. I knew I knew it, but I was just thinking and reading in pictures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What I was going through is \u201cnormal.\u201d After suffering a stroke, you\u2019re pretty engulfed in the right side of your brain. Your left side is your memory, communication, what you\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How did this happen to someone so young and healthy?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was a blood clot that went upstream. Turns out I was born with some holes in my heart, the size of quarters, and the wall separating the two sides of my heart was floppy (when it\u2019s supposed to be straight and solid). If it weren&#8217;t for the stroke I might never have known about this heart issue until some day it just gave out on me. So I also needed surgery to repair my heart, and recovery from that is one of the toughest things I\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What are some things that helped you recover?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What really got me through was humor. My family is always giving each other shit \u2013 it\u2019s always fun. That was the key in everything. I only cried once, at the lowest point \u2013 when I was told I actually had a stroke. It\u2019s a terrifying term \u2013 I didn\u2019t think it was possible to happen to someone at my age, and I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d get better.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>You recently ran a half marathon, which I think is so impressive. How was that?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was really determined last year to do a half marathon, and made that my goal on the other side of this stroke and heart ordeal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I cried for almost half of it. I kept thinking to myself, \u201cI can\u2019t believe I\u2019m here and doing this \u2013 I almost died twice last year and now I\u2019m running a half marathon.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
