Matthew Sweet has given an update after suffering a stroke in October while in Toronto, forcing him to cancel his cross-country tour. His family and friends started a GoFundMe to help cover his medical costs as he does not have insurance and has lost income from being unable to tour. A note from Sweet was posted on the GoFundMe page over the weekend, where he shared a personal update on his harrowing experience, thanked all of his supporters, and said that he’s “lived through the day where I realized I may never play guitar again,” but that he plans to try and make music and art again.

He began by describing the frightening onset of his medical emergency: “I was colder than I’ve ever been and an icy sweat came from every pore. Then I heard a deafening white noise in both my ears growing, and growing and growing in volume, and my eyes started to scramble like eggs in a pan.”

Sweet said he asked for an ambulance and while being transported to the hospital, he was informed he was having a stroke, which didn’t initially register with him. “I did not know what was happening to me at the time as I didn’t really know what a stroke was and I was alone in Canada to take in the fact that I could only see double and that I was now numb on the left side of my body and face and arm and legs and feet,” he explained. Per the GoFundMe description, Sweet would have to be flown back to America since “healthcare is not free for Americans in Canada.”

Sweet wrote that he had to wait 10 days to be given clearance to be transported from his medical team in Toronto to continue his medical care in Omaha. “The only way they would let me travel back to the states was with a medical crew, on an airplane and straight into a rehabilitation hospital. The cost of all these things was already astronomical. What is mankind doing? To not make these things available as part of our culture everywhere,” he added.
