My Stroke left me without my independence. I was falling a lot, which with the support of the Community Stroke Team, it came down to a faulty pacemaker.
Gavin the Physiotherapist was patient, kind and firm with giving me balance and strength exercises that Julie continued to support me with.
After my pacemaker was replaced, I improved so much with my confidence with walking outdoors after lots of balance exercises which Julie loved naming to make it more interesting.
I am now back to catching the bus into Nottingham, helped by Social Prescribing, which was a goal. Asked on a first visit, I rated myself a 3 out of 10. Now it's 7 out of 10 and I feel confident I can go further. Thank you Gavin and Julie.
P.s I'm getting my life back!
