Arnold Clavio continues to document his journey to recovery to help those individuals who, like him, experienced a hemorrhagic stroke.
The GMA Integrated News pillar revealed on his Instagram post last June 14 that he felt numbness in his right arm and leg while driving on June 11. Later on, hospital tests showed that he had some bleeding on the left side of his brain.
According to the information from my.clevelandclinic.org, a hemorrhagic stroke happens when there's uncontrolled bleeding inside of your brain itself or in the space between your brain and its outer covering layer. This kind of stroke is especially severe and can get worse quickly.
In his Instagram post on June 19, Clavio stated that he was already transferred to a regular room. According to his neurologist, he would need six weeks of rest.
He shared, “tatlong araw matapos na makaranas ako ng HEMORRHAGIC STROKE , nagpasya ang medical team ng @stlukesmedicalcenter na mula sa Acute Stroke Unit (ASU) ay ilipat na ako sa regular room .
“The worst is over ,” sabi nga ni Dr. Vincent Valencia , cardiologist . Ang sarap pakinggan pero it is not yet over . Mahaba-haba ang laban na ito .
“Ayon kay Dr. Greg Dayrit , neurologist , kailangan ko ng 6 na linggong pahinga , rehabilitasyon at therapy , para manumbalik ang dati kong lakas at kilos.”
Clavio again updated his Instagram followers on Thursday, June 15, saying he started doing physical therapy.
“Matapos na mailipat ako sa regular room ng @stlukesmedicalcenter , doon na ako sinimulan na dumaan sa physical therapy .
“Dahil pagdurugo ng left side ng aking utak , na nagdulot ng hemorrhagic stroke , nagresulta ito ng pamamanhid ng kaliwang bahagi ng aking katawan . Natigil kasi ang normal na pagdaloy ng dugo at ang nadale na bahagi ng utak ay ang 'thalamus' area.” Igan said.
He continued, “Ang pangunahing tungkulin ng thalamus ay ang maghatid ng mga motor at sensory signal sa cerebral cortex. Kinokontrol din nito ang pagtulog, pagkaalerto, at pagpupuyat.
“Kaya tinuro sa akin ni GK , isang physical therapist , ang iba't ibang ehersisyo sa braso , binti at paa para unti-unting manumbalik sa normal na kilos .
“Aabutin pa ng mula isang buwan hanggang anim na linggo ang aking rehabilitasyon.”
Currently, Clavio is one of the top radio hosts of Super Radyo DZBB and an anchor in the longest-running morning show Unang Hirit and late night news program Saksi.
