Pauley Perrette lost all feeling on the "entire right side" of her body after suffering a stroke. The former 'NCIS' actress revealed earlier this week she'd had a "massive stroke" a year ago and she's now spoken about her ordeal in detail, admitting her doctor warned her it was doubtful she'd live if she didn't seek immediate treatment.
She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "I woke up and had no feeling on the entire right side of my body. "At first I thought I had just slept funny.
When I kept realising the extent of the numbness; couldn’t feel my finger touching my face, couldn’t feel my face being touched by my finger, couldn’t feel my laptop sitting on my lap, no feeling at all on the right hand side - I could have burned myself or cut my finger off and wouldn’t have known - I called my doctor and he said, 'GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY.
