Bach and her doctor took her to the hospital, where she discovered that she was unable to stand on her own. She had to drag herself to a sofa and pull her body into a sitting position. She stayed in the hospital for 10 days. Turner was able to regain her ability to walk, but"nothing about the rehabilitation process was easy," she wrote.Turner wrote in her memoir that she was diagnosed with high blood pressure in 1978.

After her stroke, Turner's doctor expressed concern that her high blood pressure was also hurting her kidneys. Shortly after, she found out that they only had 35% function.
