I set a huge goal 2 years ago to accept a challenge from my GP and specialists that I am still receiving treatment for my stroke, hypoxic brain injury and two cardiac arrests that I had November 2017 on the same day.
I accepted this challenge positively to greatly assist in my recovery. I posted the Digital Credentialed Badge on the post before. On 25 May 2020 I completed a 31 hour Disaster Mental Health Counselling Credential Course and it is currently the first in world of its kind. In doing this course I also received a Lifetime Achievement Certificate for completing 254 hours of continuing professional development in mental health since 2013.
I was told by two specialists that this would never be possible and I have proved them wrong. My recovery is still ongoing and I have my ups and downs like everyone else.
Another issue is that I found out from my MRI's that I had sometime in the past had 5 more strokes as well.
