Health update: I’ve started hydrotherapy which has helped so so much. Still dizzy when tired, balance really dodgy but have managed to gain at least 2” of lift in my arm.
Tested out the mobility scooter on Saturday, fell off twice but was nice to get out at last. Been in bed today. #strokerecovery
I keep forgetting about this new platform … I need to start some conversations on here to keep bringing me back so I can break the fb habit!!
#Airup Absolutely blown my tiny broken mind.
Received today, and I cannot explain the witchcraft, but I can actually taste peach. #mindblown #witchcraft #strokesurvivor
I keep forgetting about this app!!! Help me remember to use it!
@mrrickygervais.bsky.social never thought I’d be shedding a tear with you.
My dad has been banging on about After Life for a while. He died, now I’m watching it. #Fuck
I wasn’t expecting to become a member of the Dead Dad Club this young. Now I don’t know what I’m meant to do. I’ll never see or speak to him an and that is really hard to comprehend. #DeadDadClub
I have had so little support from any of the #stroke foundations as well as the #NHS. Under 40 and abandoned. Pretty pitiful.
I keep forgetting about this place. I’m so rubbish with social media. I’m so un-cool.
Struggling today. #Grief is awful. Grief of a person, the old you, and the less disabled you. It’s all too much. #MentalHealth #Help #sad
Absolutely this. I spent last year angry, the took to bed at new year with depression, I did unpack and stay for longer than I should have. I’m hovering at the moment, but I think it’s kind of like the stages of grief. I’m on my way out of the depression (I hope).
I’m so glad you survived. The world needs you. 🧡 It’s really hard leaving the pity party, especially when on your own. But I’m trying and taking each day. I’m naturally negative, so I’m trying to remain positive each day. Thank you for the support. 🥰
I’m hoping to have more normal mobility by my 40th in October anyway!
It’s bonkers. It was “central “ too, so both side are affected. But my left side more so and my right works but has reworked incorrectly. I’m starting to come out of the depression and sadness so hopefully on the way up. Thank you ☺️
I was about to do my nails and felt a migraine coming in. Had a zigzag aura and went back to bed. Woke up had dinner then the same thing happened the next day, but I was throwing up. Didn’t get a single “stroke symptom” until the evening of the second day and then was left in A&E for 4 days.
My fingers are crossed for her. And you. They cannot determine what caused mine but I suspect it’s high blood sugars.
Oh great. Hopefully she will start improving once she rests up. I need to start taking my meds too. I’m glad I wasn’t on my own either. Glad she’s got you. 🧡
Thank you. To you too!
The stroke association sent someone out to visit me a year ago and haven’t heard from them since. Absolutely zero help or support from them. I’ll speak to GP beginning of June and ask. Thanks.
Oh bless you both. Hope he’s improving. I’ve been thinking of doing similar because of the same reasons. They alll seem to fave given up on me but I’m not sure how to find private physio. Also need a carer and cleaner. It’s all so unfair isn’t it.
Wouldn’t be allowed to suffer like this if I was someone’s pet!!! #justsaying #strokesurvivor

I’m inclined to agree with you. I haven’t read the article, but I had a stroke last year at the ago of 38 and the recovery support has been pretty awful.
How are you both doing?!
Totally forgot about this platform. Fb is rubbish, and threads is hard to get engagement on.
Yesterday I walked the furthest I have since the #stroke. Totally wiped out today, but try again tomorrow!! #strokerecovery #lifeishard #nofriends #billynomates
