One Year Ago Today
I came out of hospital after having a stroke the Monday before.
It was just a mini-stroke, but since then I've had massive support from monthly phone calls from the Stroke Unit, a six month visit from the Senior Stroke Nurse from the hospital, and other supportive organisations.
Thing is, I'm fine - thank goodness. I had to take a month off work which went against the grain for me, as I wasn't allowed to drive, but fortunately, last April was gorgeous and I was able to sit outside and keep calm with no stress.
I am not incapacitated, although my typing skills were somewhat limited at the time, and my right fingers and top right lip are still numb but hey ho, I'm still here.

Every day is a bonus for me, Mags. I have to regularly attend for blood tests, BP tests and it is a chore, but it has to be done - but I wish I didn't have to.
I just have to keep taking the pills!

(((((hugs))))) xx
I makes folk laugh at work when I say I have to go to the Pharmacy for me drugs.
Problem is, my doctor said to avoid stressful situations. Er, says I to him .... excuse me but .... this is the 21st century and is more stressful now than the 1960s. So, how does I get round that one? He couldn't answer that!
