I thought strokes were for old people but had one in my sleep at 38 — what happened when I woke up was terrifying
NY Post
It was like a scene out of a Michael Bay movie.
Krista Figari woke up in her Manhattan apartment and made her bed like she did every morning — then disaster struck.
“When I turned around after making my bed, I just kind of fell towards my dresser and fell down onto the floor,” Figari, 39, told The Post. “Then I couldn’t move my arm and my leg. And at that point, I was like, this is weird.”
Figari couldn’t get up, but she could reach her phone. She dialed her cousin, who lives nearby, then her super and 911.
Her super didn’t have a key for the top lock of her front door, which made Figari very nervous because she knew something was really wrong.
Then, finally, a breakthrough — the super realized he could reach Figari’s place via the fire escape. He painstakingly crawled through her window and let emergency responders in so they wouldn’t have to break down her door.

It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
