Stroke

May 27, 2024

In the realm where vessels weave, unseen,
A tale unfolds of a profound scene.
Cerebrovascular whispers weave,
A story of strokes, both hard to conceive.

Ischemic stroke, a clot's cruel dance,
Blocking pathways in the brain's expanse.
Thrombotic whispers within vessels crawl,
A silent thief, the mind in thrall.

Embolic strokes, a journey unforeseen,
A clot dispatched from parts unseen.
Through the rivers of the body's art,
To the brain, it claims a wicked part.

Hemorrhagic tempest, a vessel's rupture,
A bleeding dance, a chaotic sculpture.
In the brain's sanctuary, a vessel's strife,
Bleeding into the canvas of life.

Symphonies of symptoms, a stroke's cruel song,
A sudden numbness, where weakness belongs.
In faces, arms, or legs, a one-sided plea,
A silent symphony, a soul's decree.

Confusion's dance, a twisted waltz,
Speech, a tangled thread, the mind assaults.
Understanding falters in a fleeting glance,
A stroke's cruel grip, a perilous trance.

Eyes that once beheld the world so clear,
Now clouded by strokes, a sudden frontier.
A sudden storm, a headache's embrace,
No apparent cause, a mysterious grace.

Emergency calls in the dark's cruel night,
FAST, the anthem, the call to the fight.
Face drooping, arm's weakness, a speechless plea,
Time ticks, a lifeline, to set the spirit free.

In the urgency of moments, a canvas unfolds,
A stroke's tale, a story told.
Swift treatment, a lifeline cast,
To minimize the damage of strokes' shadowed grasp.

Medications, surgery, interventions unfold,
In the theater of healing, a story untold.
Rehabilitation, a phoenix's flight,
Rising from strokes, towards a hopeful light.

Lifestyle changes, a path to prevent,
Future strokes, a foe to circumvent.
In the tapestry of strokes' intricate art,
Resilience weaves, a mended heart.
