"Community Stroke Team"

We've had such good help from all the girls.

When my husband got home from hospital someone rang us straightaway. I was doing a lot more then, it was really hard.

We saw Leanne and she gave him lots of balance exercises and now he can play golf and go bowling again.

Margaret came several times and gave him work for speech and it has really done the trick. He only struggles when he's tired now, before it was all the time. She also told us about Aphasia Nottingham and listened to us talk about how hard things can be with recovery and when the talking isn't so good. She's so lovely. She listened to me as well as him and that helped me work out how to look after myself so I can look after him.

Jayne came and did an assessment and now he can drive again and that is just wonderful - I don't enjoy driving.

We can't thank them all enough - they are lovely lovely people and have helped so much. We miss their visits and wish them all the best with all the other people they are looking after.
