I'm sorry to hear about the effects of the stroke, and happy to hear about your courage.

Fascinatingly, that was Saturn's closing square to natal Saturn, the last cycle before your Saturn return. Saturn squared natal Saturn 0°17'.
Jupiter was semi-square your Venus 43' - not sure what the import of that was. (It seems taking the cheap way out to say, "It could have been much worse," and only my perception of your sense of humor allows me to say, "So this was your introduction to a life of leisure?") Similarly, there was a strong Jupiter theme from a progressed Moon-Jupiter opposition, 0°16'.
But progressed Mars squared you natal Sun 0°18'. I'm assuming blood pressure had gotten high and there were related stress or exertion factors. Mars to Sun is appropriate for the event itself, but it makes more sense by describing those things that bring about the rupture. (Oh, and progressed Saturn had been in long-term trine to your Sun as well, and was
exact to the minute of arc when this occurred - malefics double teaming the Sun with considerable precision.)
There was also a progressed sextile of Sun to natal Uranus, 35'. Sun as vascular-cardiac certainly seems the pivot planet. And, though trines and sextiles by transit are normally not worth noting, there is an interesting midpoint contact from this Sun-Uranus progression: Transiting Mars was sextile your Sun +19', and trine your Uranus -16', meaning that it was less than 2' from their midpoint.
Your then-new Sidereal Solar Return... well, gosh, it's hard for things to get clearer. Saturn rises, opposite a setting Mars < 3°. They square your natal Saturn on IC. (I should check this mundanely later, using tools we recently published here - it looks like Saturn-Saturn might be exact mundanely.) There is also Uranus nearby. Moon opposes Pluto (almost-partile ecliptically, 07' mundanely), both square Venus (mundanely it all fits within 13' total orb). - Transiting Mars conjoined your SSR Venus, and was 03' from square the SSR Pluto!
Your then-new Sidereal Lunar Return is less clear, but again starts with a solar focus, with Sun a degree and a half from Eastpoint. Mercury rises closely. Jupiter squares the Mercury (making it a "good" Mercury), but Jupiter itself is not angular. Your natal Uranus-Neptune square was angular and triggered by Sun's transit; but, while it isn't contrary to the event, and one can always say, "changes, disability, and altered state of consciousness," it's not exactly the aspect we'd expect to see, so I don't think the lunar is very helpful.
Using my experimental PSN technique, we get a repeat of the secondary progressed Moon-Jupiter, this time as a partile conjunction. (The original is strange, the duplication is strange.) But, more on target, progressed Sun opposed natal Saturn 42', and was in turn squared by transiting Saturn (25', again roughly at the midpoint). (The Saturn-to-Saturn was part of a progressed Sun-to-Saturn in the PSN, which is quite noteworthy.) There are other small things, but that's the main stuff.
So... sorry to hear about all of this.
