Shelly B. Tuesday, August 2, 2011 By: Shelly B. Shelly B. Survivor I am 44 years old and survived a right cerebral artery CVA on October 6, 2010, which I almost died from, and which left me with left-sided hemiparesis. The doctors could not determine the cause of my stroke. I was in the hospital for a month, and have been in rehab ever since, returning home on December 2, 2010. I am expected to regain full function of my left extremities.
