- Mike was always an avid runner. Last year, he collapsed while running on his treadmill. His wife found him and had him rushed to Virtua in South Jersey, where he was diagnosed with a very severe type of stroke. Because his case was so complex, he was airlifted to Penn Medicine, where he was treated by a Penn stroke specialists.
Mike recovered and was almost fully back to normal just six days later. Mike credits the joint efforts of Virtua and Penn for saving his brain and his life.

My grandad had a stroke last year, he was out in public, luckily after about 15 minutes a passer by saw what had happened and called him an ambulance, because of covid it didnt arrive for an hour and a half and then when he went i thought id never see him again, fas forward a week and he was back home and starting to talk, fast forward to today and hes basically back to normal exept for a bad memory, my grandads a badass
99% of people not so fortunate
Surviving a stroke when your younger is easier to recover. Someone in their 80's who hasn't move much in years is likely to go into a nursing. It is cruel to bring a person back to just exist in a diaper with nothing to do but stare and suffer.
I am 20, I was 19 when I had 2 strokes a week apart. I was standing there both times and I had numbness in my legs, wanted to scream but my face was numb, I collapsed into my friends drenched in sweat unable to talk but needing to scream for help. I couldn’t stand up or move my face or arms, they dragged me into the house and that’s all I remember besides them trying to ask me what happened and for hours I would just cry freaking out terrified of what happened. I was trying to enlist in the Air Force so I didn’t want to see a dr. Now a year later I realize how badly it could affect me by now over a year without any medical attention for it whatsoever I’m so scared to see a dr
I've known two people who had strokes that are close to me. My mom lost the majority of the use of her left leg, memory, and behavioral issues.
My brother seems perfectly ok on the "surface" of things but has major issues with his short term memory along with some other subtle things.
Just because he seems ok here, it's likely he has some sort of injury from the stroke that just isn't showing.
I survived A stroke 2years ago. I used to be half paralyze. but now I can move my arms and legs. thank God I can walk again. Follow my page I put all things that I do to help me recover. maybe it can help us survivors.
Where is it? Your 'page' ?
I ha a major stroke 4 years ago and with the prompt treatment I received at Sir John Radcliffe hospital( a thrombectomy) where they drew out the blood clot from my brain, I have made a fantastic recovery. I had 6 weeks support at home and I walked after 2-3 days in hospital with a stick. My left arm and hand took a while to start working properly and now I can dressmake again and do my ballet classes. This treatment is not available at many hospitals unfortunately. All the images of the brain show the extent of a major stroke. I couldn’t believe it either but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.
How long did your hand take
what did the hospital did to make him walk and run right away without theraphy. most of us who had stroke suffer some kind of weekness or paralysis that needs theraphy. i am just amazed.. Maybe its not a severe stroke or maybe my doctor and other doctors are doing it wrong when faced with a stroke patient.
Please give more details on the stroke and the procedure done to him.So that we can understand how they did it right. and give hope to the future stroke patients to have the same success he had.
my dad just had a bilateral stroke 4 days ago and I'm scared to death... The doctors want to put him on a feeding tube... This is an actual nightmare...
Sorry to hear your dads medical situation . How’s he doing ? Stay positive brother. Pray pray 🙏🙏
I'm sorry you're going through this. 😔 my dad had a stroke 3 weeks ago and another one today. This can't be real. 😔 I hope your dad is okay.
@@lifewithsulmy7504 He's been doing so much better and the doctors still don't know how he had the strokes and can't figure it out. Its been 13 days now and he's able to walk with a walker and speak some words but still can't swallow, I hope your dad is okay too as this whole thing sucks so bad. I hope my dad doesn't have a 3rd stroke, I'll keep your old man in my thoughts..
Everyday is Christmas when I have we have our dads. I'll stay strong if you stay strong..
@@gabrielantunezjr5994 Thank you man, It's rough waters but my family is fused together right now and were trying to hold it down as best we can.
It is, but he will be fine with the right care
I dont think it's severe. My very kind father have a stroke 4yrs ago. And 'til now he hasnt recover. He has a problem talking, cant feel and move the right side of his body. But still very kind. He is my angel and inspiration that I kept working and as a bread winner of our family. He sometimes pity me for I am working hard through all this years despite my young age. But that doesnt shake me. I don't know why i dont feel bad for myself. I just love them that I don't mind myself.
I wish for every stroke patient in this world to be cured right away. I cant stand seeing them struggling.
I've had my stroke over a year now and still can't walk properly or lift my arm fully and have barley any feeling on the right side. He don't look like he's had a server stroke to me.
you outcome doesn't dictate if is mild or worst stroke, so as his. Better treatment and rapid treatment of severe stroke leads to better outcome. You literally judging other stroke base on your personal experience alone. this ain't a competition on who is more of victims.
I’m 100 % sure you will fully recover ! Keep trying & keep getting better
I’m 100 % sure you will fully recover ! Keep trying & keep getting better
@@joaoomega6627 i know every case is different. but if you say severe stroke, expectation dictates that you will atleast undergo a theraphy. but this guy was able to run right after the surgery.. I am just Amazed really.
I just want details on his stroke and the procedure done to him so that all other stroke patients dont have to under go months and even years of theraphy. i myself wanted to run just like him
How many years can a right stroke patient can live.
All the comments saying this is not a severe stroke because he looks fine speaking and moving... that's incorrect. He had a huge clot that was bad enough to cause immediate symptoms, but his brain was saved from extensive damage because of immediate and drastic medical care. He had surgery to take the clot out within a few hours of the clot forming, that's how his brain survived
It’s been 4 yrs , can my friend regain speech
Mike I just saw this sorry to hear about it this much later after spending a wonderful Saturday afternoon in late September with Chris Olson atAldo Lamberti I drove home to Maine and suffered my own massive strokestroke in late September I have been rehabbin 0:38 since I just getting now walking walking with a cane well hope you have recovered to the level of your hoped expectationsI’m not sure if I will make mine happy new year air products Mike
He doesn't seem like he had a stroke.
Thats the point not all fat people have strokes and heart attacks
That's right, it happened to me too( twice), but God is good and he gave me a second chance.
No hope for my dad... A stroke caused by brain cancer. Plus, lung and pancreas cancer.
One month later, he is having bad delusions and talking and yelling all night, keeping my mom awake.
Mike had a stroke?
My brother is a severe stroke survivor. Was hospitalized for 6 months. he cant move the right side of his body and lost most of his speech/communication skills. I'm not sure if mike is considered a severe stroke survivor...
How long you took recovery arm
i look for help, a stroke victim, no money.
How long post stroke videos
Mike is sweet but I don't think he should be classified as a severe stroke. My brother is 39, had a hemorrhagic stroke in March: coma for 10 days, trach, feeding tube, icu for 2 months, left side does not move-cannot walk now and speaks very slowly and sounds like he had a stroke. That is a severe stroke. I would hate for people who really have had severe strokes, to think that this is how they should be....I am glad he is okay but not a severe stroke
Oh, forgot, inpatient rehab for 3 months also
My mom is currently in a coma from a severe stroke
Sounds like eating processed food was his way to unwind 😱
is this for reals? being positive in this situation is helpful, but giving false hope isn't kinda good...
I hope this video give us Hope... a true hope, are you really suffering from Severe Stroke?
You have to be near a phone too that's crazy
And you can't even talk
Hi, Is this possible after 1yr of ischemic stroke?
sure its possible. however depending on the bleeding harm.
how is it going on now? :) hope ure ok
My mom had a severe stroke and is currently in a coma so I don’t think this was a severe stroke but a minor one
How long years post stroke full recovery
For some it’s as soon as months, some never fully recover even after years unfortunately
