I never new much about strokes, until I had mine, unfortunately for me, because I was in a coma for 4 weeks to drain blood from my brain, it really slowed my recovery, I’m making a little progress still, over 7 years later, my walking is still slow but at least I can walk, I had to learn to write with my right hand, as I was left handed before, I’m proud of how I’ve adapted, well done on your achievements, take care John

Good Man John! I don’t post here asd often as perhaps I should but I always love to red posts like yours!
Not, of course, that I’m unsympathetic but just to know that we can still make an affort to make the best of a bad situation!
But keep ticking off those milestones. Mine was the first time I walked my dog on my own, well the two of us to be fair, and she’s a rubbish guide dog, “Oh squirrel”!
I don’t know about TV but I lost ALL my right hand side peripheral vision (and, if it makes you any happier, I envy you getting your driving licence back!) and I’ve found I can’t enjoy the cinema any more. A shame really.

Thank you Peter, for kind words, I try to make the best of things I can, driving has been so good for me, I think it’s good I’m still getting my confidence back better, because I know I have to really concentrate, I hope you can get back to driving and enjoy the cinema, I haven’t been for a while, I used to like going myself when I took my niece and nephew, thank you kind regards John

Apologies, not a frequent visitor, I am quite busy with appts and friends popping in. I am able to do a shuffle very slow walk without my stick, but along way to go before I can class myself as a walker again. I have no use/movement in my left arm, so am waiting until I feel confident to be able to walk when arriving at my destination getting out of the car, even with badges, there is always a distance to walk, at mo relying on use of wheelchair with someone to push me. Like at my gym, a very long corridor to gym, so I am met at the front desk and wheeled down.

No need to apologise. I only tend to look in myself. I’m more better keeping busy. I can walk a little unaided but only around the house. Not confident enough to try outside. My left side is still numb. Take care and thank you for message. Kind regards John
