Thanks for posting this - i've read her book before but have never seen her speak.
I had my own stroke a few years ago in about the same spot (judging by her xray). Mine was similar in that I felt detached from myself, but I can't say that I experienced all of the things that she mentioned. I am glad that she got something out of it, but for me it was a dismal experience and I never want to go through it again. I was extremely lucky and I was able to make a "complete" recovery in about a year.
Ya'll check your blood pressure and don't let it become a problem as you get older.
