In a post on Instagram, Brushi, 46, said, "Around 10:30 a.m. on July 4th I lost the use of my left arm. I then tried to speak and realized I was slurring my speech. As I turned to my wife she noticed the left side of my face was drooping. We immediately knew what was happening. These are stroke warning signs."In the post, he shared a graphic that detailed the warning signs and went on to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers."I'm doing much better," he posted. Bruschi had previously suffered a stroke in February 2005, a few days after playing in the Super Bowl. He was just 31 years old at that time. "It's still like a vivid memory in my brain of when my neurologist put his hand on my shoulder and told me, 'Tedy, you had a stroke,'" Bruschi told WCVB in an interview earlier this year. He returned to the Patriots and won the ESPY Award for Best Comeback Athlete in 2006.
