>>34915908
Hell no man, i know the anons here can't personally help you, myself included. But for what it's worth, life is too worth living to give it up.
Can you use your right hand to stroke yourself?
>>34915908
i'm so sorry anon
>>34915908
you will be able to do other sports tho?
>did a front squat in sperries without the collars on oneside and the weight ended up being unevenly distributed

>can't even do my initial warm up squats anymore because knee pain
>still no problem deadlifting
what do i do for legs now?
>>34915908
look on the right side, oh i meant bright side
>>34915908
I'm very sorry lad, that sounds awful. I'm glad it happened when you were surrounded by people who responded quickly.
>>34915908
This is incredibly terrifying to read. If true, I'm really sorry for you. Maybe there was some malformation in the vascular system of your brain or something. It's not normal for stuff like this to happen, kind of like when people randomly drop dead because of a heart defect. Don't an hero anon, maybe you're better of getting it now like your doctor said, at least you're still alive.
>>34915908
You did cardio the day before didn't you.
>>34915908
How are you typing this? Not calling you a liar but you're a liar. Also, 19 YO and a stroke, sounds 'spicious
>>34915928i
mean i'm sure i can if i try but its got too many needles and IV connecte the way from my right hand all the way up to my right shoulder which made it very difficult to moveso i cant be fucked to try but yeah
>>34915961
Just remember to breathe when doing your set man
This scares the shit out of me OP it's one of my biggest fears. Thanks a lot.
>>3491599
My right hand. They let me keep my phone so i can still browse dank memes while partially paralyzed
>>34915908
If it's something you're really determined to get back into you have a good shot at it with physical therapy.
>>34916002
if you pull it off will you die?
>>34916015
Sorry to hear about this. Are you in Uni? I'm dying too and I'm 18 if it makes you feel better. Starting college this spring where I'll probably die of pneumonia, oh well.
>>34915882
Heart failure is entirely different than stroke but kek anyway
>>34916025
>>34916002
how the hell did you get a stroke at 19, you have some sort of pre-known illness? or did you just start lifting
>>34916029
>I'm dying too and I'm 18 if it makes you feel better.
Pretty sure everyone reading this feel worse now.
>>34916050
Don't worry it's a slow death, my lungs will slowly get more scarred until they stop working or I get a transplant. But I might choke on my food and drown in my mucus and saliva before that happens thankfully. That is, ofcourse, if I don't catch pneumonia due to my almost compromised immune system, only to be made worse by my chronic bronchitis.
Realistically, I'll live to 30-40.
Let's live our lives together in anguish, OP. I'm single.
>>34916040
No idea, they havent told me anything
Basically the doctors have came in twice since i regained conciousness few days ago to tell me
A. I fucked my shit up
B. Worry more bout getting back to walking rather than lifting
>>34916002
Seek the life of a sage, find true wisdom and happiness.
>>34916064
Well at least you get to live out those years as a fully functioning human bean,
While i'll probably live out the rest of ny life in a wheelchair drooling from the left corner of my lips
>>34915908
Were you in the middle of a lift? How did the barbell not crash down and kill you?
>>34916099
will you be able to walk? I want you to be a real human bean with me.
>>34916121
I was actually in the middle of doing preacher curls
>>34916139
Dont know yet
>>34915908
>doctors told m even ifby some miracle i ended up recovering i wont be able to get back to weightlifting ever
yes you will.
dude, you're young. my grandmother had a stroke at 92 and they told her she'd never walk again but she was up and moving in 2 years because she was determined. she never fully recovered, but she lasted until a month before her 100th birthday.
>>34916154
>preacher curls
Serves you right.
>>34916164
Fuck you
>>34915838
>>34915882
Oh you
>>34916160
Thanks breh..
Stuff like this is why im less temptesd to just yank my IV out tbhfäm
>>34916154
>Push day
>preacher curls
did you try to confuse your muscles?
>>34916154
Are you in college? Where do you go? /fit/ will help you.
>>34915935
Goblet squats,weighted lunges?Have you considered going to a physio/doctor
>>34916195
>/fit/ will help you
Take your self-righteous circle jerk to r/fitness, faggot.
>>34916164
shut your weeaboo ass up faggot
>>34916065
Well you must have a predetermined illness or something because the chances of you getting a stroke at your age is literally none especially if you are in shape
>>34916154
h-how heavy anon?
>>34915629
OP, your story is really fucked up. I don't even know if it's real and I'm too egoistic to really care much about you. Your story if fucked up, but it moved me now. You can't tell, how much I'm motivated. I've never planned to live long happy life. I'm still not planning to. But when I was young, I told myself, that there are some things to do before I die.
">the doctors told me had this happen to me as a 40 year old. Most likely i wouldnt wake up at all "
When I read that, I thought - this could happen to me. And if that would happen, there is a chance that I would not be as lucky as you, to woke up.
Fuck that. I can die everyday just because of some stupid random reason. And what will happen with my objectives if I die randomly? There will be noone to make them real.
Your stroke is thing that changed your life. That fucked your life. You can still made it good, but you will have to change your ways of living, your objectives, your focus. It's your story.
But your stroke and your story really changed my story, my path.
One stroke fucked your body, but improved my mind at the same time.
I will bear story of your stroke in myself.
I will be stroke for the world, that allows so many things to be fucked.
I'm the Stroke.
Some weaboo motivational music for you, OP.

>>34916213
Fuck you too. I'd help him
>>34915629
Bodyweight. You can still be badass.
>>34915629
I feel you bro. I had a mild stroke when I was 19ish myself. Lost most of the peripheral vision in both eyes. No idea how or why. I didn't lift at the time but the doctors told me not to ever exert myself strenuously or I may have another. It's going to be hard but you can have a very normal life. Just don't let the depression get you. Keep trying and work at what you can do. A life of fear is the worst thing you can do for yourself.
>>34915908
don't let them decide for you. grip life by the balls and lift!
>>34915908
Can you only feel half your dick?
> making gains til you stroke
You went Zyzzmode, you made it breh
>>34916154
Whoa dude, I hope the best in your recovery, but holy shit a stroke at 19?
That's fucked up.
>captcha wheelchair
>>34915908
shoulda done SS faggot
>>34915908
>the weak should fear the strong
But for serizzle, that sucks man. Have a cool webm to watch.
Are you amerifat op? what was your bmi at the time?
Were you bear mode?
>>34916223
>I will be stroke for the world, that allows so many things to be fucked.
Do I need to call the cops anon
My next lift is 4U OP.
XOXO No homo.
im sorry friend.
my mom has had 3 strokes after 50, she just isn't the same. be glad you can at least type and express yourself.
weight lifting is over but your life isn't.
stay strong and I hope you get a full recovery.
>PR or ER brahs
>ends up in ER
>>34916065
>worry more about walking than lifting
Doctors confirmed for not making it
Don't give up man. A friend of my father had a stroke as a young man, 26 I believe, and with determination, hard work, and a lot of help from his family, he's done away with his disability almost completely. You just need to work hard. The fact that your broca and wernicke's area seem to be unaffected is a HUGE advantage over other stroke victims that you shouldn't throw away. Fight man. Try to move, try to exercise when it's possible. Don't waste time on depressing thoughts, better your mind by reading instead. You'll pull through. It might not be in a year or two but in ten years you can make a huge recovery and you'll still only be thirty.
>>34915629
Congrats on becoming a worthless burden
>>34916019
He'll probably just stroke out again attempting physical therapy.
>>34915629
>>34915908
Did the doctor tell you why you had a stroke at 19?
Did you eat too much crap? Were you taking some sort of drug or supplement?
>>34915629
Im sorry bruh,but pls give me sauce naked blonde women in kitchens are my fetish.Pls sauce
>>34915629
>>34915908
Not gonna lie, you'd be better off dead.
>>34916223
>One stroke fucked your body, but improved my mind at the same time.
iktf ;^)
Do u have chronic high cholesterol or something how the fuck does that happen at 19 there is def more to it bruh
You better be a hard man OP cus life just got real hard for you. Do your best man that all any of us can do.
OP did you have any prior medical issues?
Did you do cardio?
>>34915908
why does this happen? Do you have genetic prerequesite or a higher risk? Is it because of misuse of steroids? Is there anything you can do against it?
I'm sorry :( I would send you boobs but i'm at work
>>34915629
tell us more
>>34917306
why are you at work it's 3am. also there are absolutely genetic factors for strokes. just don't unnecessarily raise your blood pressure, aka breathe during exercises.
>>34917387
>everyone in this world is from the US
It's 09:40 am here.
>>34915908
>did you hear about the anon who went to snap city and got his whole left side paralyzed?
>it's okay, he's all right now
>>34915908
19. Fucking 19.
Im sure you'll find some other way to keep fit bro, and that's if you aren't back lifting in 2 years. Don't you dare give up hope.
We're all gonna make it.
>>34915919
kek
>>34915629
Was it full on stroke or a tia?
ITT: Remember to breath during your reps.
>>34915908
>>34915908
You can and should eventually still do bilateral (ie barbell) lifts. They're good for recovery and good for your health. You just got to go real light and not expect mad gains.
You'll learn to compensate with facial muscles eventually probably. Like you'll have to do shit like squint your eyes to smile or whatever but the face usually does okay one way or another.
>>34915908
How the fuck do you get a stroke at 19 years old?
Shit sucks bro, hope you recover
>>34915908
Please dont troll me, but is this caused by the valsalva manouver? Also, I hope shit starts looking up for you anon, Im sorry man.
>>34915908
nah dude, cus the thing you've got on your side is time. Just imagine, in ten years time you'll still be young, and ten years is a long fucking time, and plenty of shit can happen. Just imagine, a little bit of progress every month, like being able to barely wiggle a toe, adds up over 10 years. And we haven't even discussed the matter of medical technology advancing fast as FUCK. Now consider 20 years. You see where I'm going?
You may never recover, but you sure as hell will get better. You have a long life ahead of you breh, make it a good one.
>>34915629
I'm so sorry Anon.
I'll lift for you.
>>34915908
You can do it anon, I believe in you!
>>34916223
I don't think I've ever met anyone this far out on the spectrum.
>>34916351
russia has internet?? didn't know that
>>34917210
Stephen hawking has been more of a vegetable than OP ever will be and he's contributed shitloads to modern science
congrats to *you* for being a worthless burden.
>>34915629
working out is a very small part of life. It's something that most people don't do once they get older. You will be missing out of it while you are young but there is so much more then lifting weights.
>>34915629
get your grubby feet off my kitchen counter you whore
>>34915943
DEVILISH
>>34916002
Are you overweight by any chance?
At least you have no reason left not to kill yourself OP.
Tomorrow I'll work hard on my muscle imbalances for you.
well that sucks
How can this happen at such a young age?
>>34915629
did you roid or take any meds?
good luck on your recovery OP
