Skyrim Grandma Shirley opens up about life after stroke: \u201cDon\u2019t give up on me\u201d GameumentarySkyrim\u2019s Grandma Shirley opened up about her life after suffering a stroke and shared words of encouragement to concerned fans during an unboxing of a care package from Bethesda. The beloved YouTuber recently revealed that the stroke made her lose her memories, mainly around the game she spends night and day on, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. But that hasn\u2019t deterred the \u2018Gaming Grandma\u2019 from loading into the game she loves. Her stroke was a scare to many in the Elder Scrolls community, who\u2019ve been sending Shirley words of encouragement. Even the studio behind the legendary franchise sent her a care package for her to unpack as she gets better. During the unboxing, Grandma Shirley gave a heartwarming update for her audience that\u2019s gone a long way to reassure fans of her status. Shirley has medical professionals such as therapists and doctors taking care of her, so for the most part she\u2019s doing just fine after the stroke. \u201cI\u2019m fine except for these few little niggling things I can\u2019t remember,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd most of that has finally been overcome and I can remember now. Except in playing Skyrim. \u201cI don\u2019t know why, unless it was because that was the thing I played every day, and played it off-camera everyday for several years. It\u2019s been the biggest thing of my life. And so while I was sleeping, that, of course, had to be the one thing that got whacked.\u201d Though her memories are largely coming back, she said that much of her recollection on Skyrim has yet to come back. But she\u2019s not waiting for them to return. \u201cEven if I don\u2019t get my memories back for how to play this game, it doesn\u2019t matter because I can start Skyrim all over again and work with what I know,\u201d she said.\u201d So it\u2019s going to be okay. \u201cDon\u2019t any of you give up on me because it\u2019s going to be okay. I said so, I believe so.\u201d (Timestamp at 15:03 for mobile viewers) With the help of her son\u2019s extensive Skyrim notes for Shirley to follow, the YouTuber is confident and eager to get back into TES:V. Even if that means starting fresh from the beginning. \u201cMaybe one of these days, soon, I will start Skyrim brand-new all over,\u201d Shirley said. \u201cWith a new character. Start the story from the beginning and just see how it goes. I hope you\u2019ll go along with me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
