Following an Ischaemic stroke in 2019 I have learned to live with restricted movement and accepting help from my partner. I realise things could be a lot worse and I am happy that I no longer use a wheelchair and that my so called “grown up” children think it’s hilarious as I stumble round with my walking frame, but my concern is speech and writing ability. My hobbies include military history and I pride myself on remembering dates and names, so why when relating an historical event recently, Hannibal crossed the Alps in 1914 on a Banana, WHAT !!! And recently while doing a crossword I tried to write the entire word in the first square, Is this Aphasia ? Help Jerry.

I feel there are quite a few of us ready for a straight conversion, to on stage or on screen, as impromptu comics.
I’d get in quick though, the positions will all fill up rapidly, as there are so many of us competing for the top spot.
Please don’t quit though,
laughter is the best medicine,
and we need plenty of that.
keep on keepin’ on

It could well be aphasia. The video recommended by Rups is worth a watch. I guess like everything with stroke it’s just practice, practice, practice & time that will help. Good luck.
