The simple act of allowing your body to rest and digest post-stroke can be all that is needed in any given time to help you carry on through your day. Everything can feel quite complicated at times post – stroke and when it comes to re energising its good to keep things nice and simple.

Hi Julian. Since having a stroke in December 2022 one of the biggest challenges I have faced is knowing what I will face physically from day to day. Never having a stroke before I just don’t know how I will feel at any time. I don’t get upset at having a stroke, more a case of, it’s happened so get on with it .you can’t change history. Thankfully, and thanks to a good physio I am mobile and able to shower, etc. unassisted. I live in an over 50 village with lots of caring people around.My wife and children have been wonderful in looking after us. I have tried to join a local Stroke support group but the contacts I have been given do not answer their phone. I had hoped to go along and talk to other survivors to glean their experiences. Thank you for your very useful information
