Teriyaki soup

Jun 7, 2017

By: Taylor


on a Thursday morning I had woken up for work but couldn't get up from bed physically I called my boss who was also my step mom and she sent my aunt to check on me my aunt immediately asked what drugs I was on. I was furious I wasn't high I needed help my aunt made my younger brother help to get me into the car because she thought I was having a stroke. The ER doctors confirmed she was right. I did have a stroke. They sent me to a bigger hospital to figure out why a healthy 19 year old girl had just had a stroke. About two days later a group of doctors walked into my hospital room and explained why my stroke had happened. I have a rare autoimmune disease called takayasu's arteritis but what I heard was "teriyaki soup and this" so I laughed and told the doctors that I didn't eat soup. Then they explained again what it was called and that it affects my arteries and that's why I had a stroke.
