Listen "LUP EP 27 - Aaron's Story"
Episode Synopsis
We sat down and spoke with an old friend, Aaron Johnson.A few years back, (Pre-Covid) Aaron suffered a stroke at the young age of 37 he became paralyzed from the neck down and was hospitalized for 3 months! Aaron shares with us the extreme mistreatment he received during his stay at the hospital as well as the nursing home he went to for his rehabilitation. He now wants to bring attention to this, so that the treatment he received, doesn’t happen anyone else like him. Aaron also has a rare disease called sarcoidosis, which presented itself in his lymph nodes, what can affect others in different ways. It is an inflammatory disease in which the immune system overreacts, causing groups of cells to form clusters of inflamed tissue called “granulomas” in one or more organs of the body. Aaron talks about how he navigates through this disease as well as the post effects of Covid and his stroke.He is an Activist and an Ally, and is currently working on filming a documentary about homeless encampment in Minneapolis, titled: (They Sleep Among Us) which he is hoping to have the film wrapped up by October. We appreciate Aaron taking the time to sit down with us and share his story and we are very excited for you all to see this episode!Watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/KTQIQH_C6Q0?si=o50fMeUqqd1bGS_A
