@Gay that’s a shame but there’s always another occasion.
Take care.

Shwmae Virginia,“everyone was shocked that, even at 82, I had had a stroke. It’s been an interesting, up and down journey learning to live with altered vision, the headaches, fatigue, and more headache etc.” - Aye, and at 47, movement, vision and balance has interrupted how I look at the world, but not how others look at me.

Hi poozle,
Thank you for your long detailed answer to my message . I wish I could find humour in my condition , which is nothing like as bad as that of other stroke sufferers . The giddiness and pressure never let up . But I am able to get around my locality , cook and shop for myself and be entirely self sufficient . Also I look after my tiny courtyard which is filled with plants . Just sitting amongst my plants gives huge satisfaction . A glass of red wine , good food , a book that makes me laugh , daily visits to my local cafe and chatting to the other regulars , making myself look good (and receiving compliments) . So , there I am looking at the small things that give me pleasure . Just writing them down reminds me that it is worth struggling . Thank you for prompting me to count my blessings and raising my spirits . I do toy with the idea of taking an anti depressant but still can’t take the step .
