Hiroko Nishimura · Posted on January 26, 2018August 15, 2020

Hiroko Nishimura · Posted on October 8, 2017July 22, 2020

With my diagnosis of harboring “ticking time bombs” in my brain at the age of 22, technically, little had changed. And yet, somehow, everything had changed. I was diagnosed with a vascular disorder in my brain a month after my 22nd birthday. After a Grand Mal Seizure which sent me to the Emergency Room, a …
