Hello laxxa,
did you see my recent
post? I had a subarachnoid haemorrhage which classifies as a stroke too. They even put me in a coma, though I had no neurological blackouts like blurred vision or lack of motor co-ordination.
I don't know the Australian regulations, but I think you will find my story reassuring. When I could get my medical back here in Euroland why shouldn't you get yours back as well? Chin up!
