So that is why I haven’t seen you in awhile. Great news! Thank you for sharing, and don’t be a stranger! Hope to ‘see’ you again soon.
Hi Simon, i moved here pre Brexit. The biggest single change is that holiday home owners can now only spend 90 days in any 180 days in Spain. That is the law, but I’m not sure Spanish authorities apply it stringently.
The big plus is the weather. We’re in October now and daytime temperatures are still reaching 29 degrees. Still in shorts. Off to play padel this morning.
Keep going it is worth the hard work.
Adios
Graeme
Hi I had a full left side stroke arm,leg,face, mouth back in August 2019 2 days after my 68th birthday. A week in Leeds General Infirmary. Fortunately I was given a clot busting drug so within the month I was back in the gym & drove part way to Spain via France in October. Anything is possible it all depends where you started from. I found swimming was The most helpful as I struggled to remember to breath when concentrating. swimming was great I you have to breathe properly, I also walked up & down the pool where falling over was not a problem ![]()
I still have difficulties but most people don’t believe how ill I was when the ambulance arrived. Blood oxygen was near non existent I am told but I was out of it & paralysed on my left side.
So all the best but anything is possible !
Yes I was. Life is good.
Sounds like things are going well for you. Great being able to drive that far. I couldn’t have fone that pre-stroke
You are right about the swimming pool. It’s definitely a good place to practice walking & exercises.
