Miracle in the Desert: 
A Journey of Self-Discovery after a Stroke

Hello and welcome to my personal blog! My name is Marco Giovannoli, and I created this space to share my thoughts, experiences, and insights with you. I suffered an ischemic stroke in September, the 8^th 2022 which left me with general weakness in my right side, especially upper limb. I cannot control yet my right hand (I was right-handed so you can imagine the impact of my current disability) and I have limited movements in my right shoulder and arm. Luckily speech and cognitive functions had no consequences.

 

Because I believe that “Physical Impairments are not limitations, but stimulus to find new paths and a better self in life” I decided to translate my experience into a book.

Therefore, I am currently drafting my first book called “Miracle in the desert: A Self-Discovery Journey after a stroke” where I am

This book provides a detailed chronology of the events perspective as they have happened from the morning, I suffered a Stroke and subsequent rehabilitation journey.

It is also the account of my emotional struggles on accepting my new conditions. The continuous inner work to fight negativity and the search for new purposes a meaning in my life.

In my daily life I am an Aeronautical Engineer working as Senior Manager in the Engineering Department of Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates – UAE) since 2013.

 Beside the physical and emotional rehabilitation process after a stroke I am passionate about Data science (especially python coding and machine learning), reading, travelling, cooking, mountain and ultrarunning prior to the stroke and I hope to inspire, inform, and encourage you through my new blog.

In this blog, you will find a wide range of content based on my daily life together with a stroke and my other interests.

 

 

I believe in the power of storytelling and the importance of connecting with others through shared experiences. That's why I am committed to creating engaging and meaningful content that resonates with you.

Thank you for visiting my blog, and I look forward to connecting with you and growing together.
