Nancy Jarecki’s stroke could have reduced her to a statistic. But her determination, humor and style paved a different path to recovery.
For our Season Six Finale we are recognizing Stroke Awareness Month with a very special episode of This Is Your Brain.
This is a story told by Nancy Jarecki, - a businesswoman, wife and mother - whose resilience and good humor while recovering from a serious brain aneurysm was inspiring to all of us who treated her here at New York – Presbyterian Hospital.
What follows is a dramatic, funny and heart-warming story of one woman’s journey back from a life-altering experience.
