As a Neurologist finishing up my training in a Sleep Medicine Fellowship, I am glad to hear you are feeling better and wish you well in your upcoming battles. While recovering from even a small stroke can take enormous amounts of physical, mental & emotional effort, it often seems easier than trying to change your habits & lifestyle to prevent another stroke from occuring.
Thankfully it sounds like you have a lot of personal strength and good support from both family and friends.
All the best to you.
