I had a stroke 11 months ago at work a real shock to all, a bleed on the brain caused by an AVM . The community stroke team arrived on day 4 after my release from hospital ,slurred speech, no use or feeling in my left arm or hand left side weakness, what an amazing team Michelle the OT her help, advice, knowledge and support have been amazing, Ian the sensory physio his magic hands and daily chats such a good guy and Clare the physio with her daily exercises and routines all a real tonic and a massive help with my recovery, all brilliant people who care and support when you are struggling to comprehend what has happened and is happening to you ,the team gives you belief and hope while trying to cope with the affects of the stroke and in the current Covid-19 risk all behind masks and visors.
My progress has been incredible with there help and support, I have full use of my arm and hand, my speed and processing has improved. I am back at work on a phased return after 9 months with the help and support from Michelle who has always had my back, I am waiting for gamma knife radiotherapy to treat my AVM in the future. Without the help of Michelle, Ian and Clare, I don't think I would be where I am today, Thank you so much for everything !
you are Amazing, what a team .
THANK YOU
"Stroke recovery journey and Amazing support"
