It has been awhile for me as my events happened in August 2021, but I am now just over a year out of hospitals. The first time I stood with help x2 was just over a year ago. The longest 57 seconds of my life. I was so excited to tell my daughter and told her I stood for 1 minute. The physical therapist told me the next day she heard me lie to my daughter and that I was going to stand for a minute so I would no longer be a liar. I thought I was going to die and kept asking if it had been a minute yet. She kept saying just a few more seconds. When she finally let me sit, she told me I made it two minutes. I still love that lying PT. She was the absolute best in challenging me.

Humour can be so important. 5 years after my severe stroke, and aware that my memory was badly affected, my local GP suggested I attend a council-run MEMORY CLINIC. An appointment was duly made and with great difficulty my wonderful wife managed to get me to the venue. Guess what ? When we arrived, it was the Memory Clinic that had forgotten the appointment !!! NOW YOU HAVE TO LAUGH AT THAT! I laughed till I cried !!! Bob
