“NCIS” alum Pauley Perrette says she is thankful to be alive after suffering a stroke last year.

“It’s the one-year anniversary since I had a stroke, and I’m still here,” the actress said in a video posted to social media on Friday.

“Yes, I’m still here, again. Like how many times do I cheat death?” she added. “Like I almost died from a hair dye allergy. I have food allergies, I’m a domestic violence and a rape survivor.
