update 12/29/21: so i'm trying to correct some of my mistakes in the OP, but I can't get everything right. i've been home all of december from my 8th brain angiogram. now what's left on the table for february in the new year is my FINAL brain surgery, which will be a gamma-knife (youtu.be/7ScVu-ZGfu8) and i can't wait

Yeah but the fact you were able to get out there is amazing. You could work your way back up with smaller events.

almost dying was the BEST thing to ever happen to me
Write-up for my 2nd Strokiversary:
okay i am going to say something that might sound crazy to you, having a stroke and almost dying was the BEST thing that ever happened to me. 2 years is enough time to stamp it i feel like. in the way that me prior to march 2020 needed a swift kick in the butt, clinically depressed for a couple or a few years at that point just down horrendous. i just wasn’t doing anything right and just doing nothing, but getting down on myself. the impetus’ were a breakup and working this dead end job in an environment that was 10x worse, making me nothing, but very miserable. luckily i can thank my psychiatrist and therapist for keeping me on the rails at the very least until my brain blew up to allow the new me to fly out of there like a hecking angel 👼🏻. but it isn’t just like a switch flipped and boom, more like i understood how badly i had been going about this life thing. so i got the nudge that i had to change things. things like: my outlook, how i treated loved ones, my attitude, my disposition, everything! i didn’t understand how much i had to lose even when i thought i was at my lowest point and thought i had nothing. i speak to you now at the 2 year anniversary mark and being able to live as this new me for a good amount of time, that’s why i can make such a confident claim that it was the best thing to ever happen to me, i sit writing this and i have just been so unbelievably happy and excited for what’s to come! the flip side of what i was going through a few years ago. and the best thing about these two years is that i know it’s true happiness because i haven’t taken in from an outside source like i have in the past. that’s really all i have to say here, FIN.
