iwhen i suffered my stroke i had two scans within hours of arriving at the hospital, i lost the use of my left arm, speech went funny, eyesight was next to u/s, no balance whatsoever couldnt stand or even sit up, couldnt swallow and loads of other problems. i spent five weeks in there , balance still wobbily and walking with sticks, speech is like being on helium sometimes, eyesight coming back and got use of left arm back. there are few more issues to overcome in time. i am so lucky to have love and support of my family. and lucky to have support of ftf members too. thanks to all that have sent messages, nick
