She was woken up in the middle of the night by terrible pain. Despite the emergency, it took four hours to be treated. A doctor mentioned an anxiety attack.

When she woke up, she could no longer walk, talk or feed herself. For two years, she had to relearn everything. Getting back up is the challenge for all stroke victims.
