A 27-year-old woman returns home from the gym and her world changes forever when she nearly dies from a massive cerebellar stroke. Unbeknownst to her, Sara was taking combined estrogen and progesterone birth control medication while experiencing migraines with aura - a potentially lethal contraindication. Progesterone-only birth control is the safest to take. After spending six months in rehab in California, she returns home to the great state of Wisconsin with her incredible and loving parents and continues rehab there. Sara remains patient, positive, and persistent in her fight back to overcome the effects of this devastating condition. A must-read for anyone who has experienced a stroke, and for the loved ones who care for them.
