Life’s Surprises and Ironies: A Stroke Survivor’s Tale
Life is full of surprises, and some are just plain hilarious. As a stroke survivor who’s been disabled since my unprecedented massive hemorrhagic stroke at 29 (I just turned 38, thank you very much), I’ve mastered the art of embracing life’s ironies. My health journey has been a rollercoaster, filled with unexpected twists and turns. For instance, while seeking health, every medical checkup is a nightmare of blood drawing. My veins are so fine and frail that even experienced nurses get flustered, poking in me as if I were a human pincushion. “Don’t worry,” I always say to calm their nerves, “poke all you want; I’m not afraid of pain.” And again, I comfort them instead of the other way around. The head nurse usually swoops in to save the day after several failed attempts—a scene that’s tragically comedic every single time.
Unraveling the Stroke Mystery
You see, my stroke has always been a mystery. It happened in Toronto, Canada, and back then, all my physicals were fine. No one ever questioned whether my thin, fragile blood vessels had anything to do with it. It wasn’t until I relocated to Taiwan eight years ago and met fellow stroke survivors who had undergone surgeries to reconstruct their veins that I started to wonder if this could have been my case, too. But no one in Canada ever brought it up—maybe it’s just one of those cultural differences or cosmic jokes. For instance, as I am into my healthy living, it is never without some horror in drawing blood during physical check-ups that my veins are so minute, it always gets the seasoned nurses dumbfounded, poking at me all over like I were some human cactus. “Don’t be concerned,” I would respond, a calming remark to lighten the moment, “Poke as you like, for I don’t feel any pain.” But then, I turn comforting to them instead. The head nurse usually swoops in to save the day after several failed attempts—a scene that’s tragically comedic every single time.
Discovering WAKI Lumbricus RN High Activity Capsule
Fast forward to now, when a box arrives at my doorstep. Inside is the much-hyped Japanese WAKI’s Fourth Generation Red Earthworm Enzyme—Lumbricus RN High Activity Capsule. (Wow, what a mouthful. May I just call it Miracle Worm Pills, please? The product comes at a rather modest price tag of NT$3,800 for 90 caps. It feels both hopeful and skeptical because the number of supplements taken throughout the years that say the miraculous result only led to disappointments, but reviews online for this product have given a decent credit.
Is this the miracle I’ve been praying for? After all, I’ve been an atheist for most of my life but have recently started dabbling in the idea of higher powers—because, let’s face it, after surviving a stroke, anything feels possible.
Speaking of miracles, let’s talk about my dietary habits. Believe it or not, I’ve been eating healthy most of my life. I aced my nutrition course in college and have adhered to a strict diet ever since—that is, until recently. Ever since my mom and I started bonding over late-night snacks, I’ve thrown caution to the wind. Eating with her feels like reliving my high school sleepovers with my BFFs (back when I still had friends). There’s a giddy thrill in breaking all the rules, like devouring instant noodles paired with deep-fried food at 1 a.m.
But last night, I paid the price for my rebellious streak. I went way overboard and ended up experiencing what I can only describe as a severe heart episode. (Not heartburn—I don’t even know what that feels like. This was more like a drum solo in my chest.) My heart was beating so hard I could feel and hear it pounding against my ribcage. My mom and I freaked out. Was this it? Was I finally cashing in my chips for all those greasy midnight feasts?
