"I thank each and every one of you"

I was sent a letter with an enclosed 'Personal exercise programme'. It was very helpful to have the images printed on a separate sheet of paper. Strokes are strange events, not so much affecting past learning and memories but definitely recent instructions and unfamiliar processes, such as your exercises. Jean is great and persuades me each day to do your routines, counting the repeats out aloud. She has become my 'live in' Kate, which is definitely a great help and I would be lost without her. For a start my meals would be non-existent and over time I would probably starve!

 

Please give my best wishes to all your colleagues who have helped so positively with my care, especially big Chris and little Chris who I have not forgotten. Rhea is still there in the background helping with my driving plans and I am grateful for that. However when I think of Rhea I also recall images of pegs on the edge of her tin and some strange coloured 'putty' that just will NOT cut! I am convinced she makes this herself, at night, by the light of a full moon!

I appreciate that with the coronavirus and the necessary nationwide avoidance of contact I am unlikely to meet most of your team again. However I do thank each and every one of you for the part you have played in my recovery and wish you all a safe journey through these alarming times.
