I went from someone who hadn't seen a doctor in years, to a regular out patient at the hospital. Since February, a week hasn't passed without some form of test or scan in a multitude of hospital departments. Crazy.

If it's possible to be fortunate after having a stroke, then I think I am. I still have full speech and control over my limbs, but it's changed me and my life in many other different ways.

I have learnt some important lessons on real priorities. I don't want this to be a pity me situation, but I do want to make people aware of how quickly things can change outwith our control. Live every moment as if it could be your last

Aw Bots ,sorry to hear that ,you never know do you what other people are going through? I'm pleased you have come out the other side relatively unscathed ,when things like this happen I think we realise life can be so fragile . Good luck for the future and big hugs.x
