September 2018

 September sees another “StrokeVersary” for me, yes the 10th of September marks 6 years since my life changed and the lives of those in my family as a Stroke just doesnt impact one person, it causes a ripple right through the family and friends.

Recently at one of our drop in’s we were joined by another survivor who didnt know who to turn to for help and information, well now he does, its taken some time to get established and recognised but the message is getting out there nice and steadily.   It was also brought to my attention that a comment had been passed at another stroke group in the borough and it was along the lines of   “Well yeah what have StrokeInformation actually done for you?”     I wont mention any names but if you want to know what we can do for you or someone else impacted by Stroke, then get in touch with us via email or 0330 055 2197,    For the person who questions StrokeInformation, all I can say is that we care because we have been there and we want to help others not just ourselves or expect things just to be done for us, which unfortunately some impacted by Stroke expect.  I look back at where I was 6 years ago, even 5 and 4 years ago and I have to say that my stroke changed my life for the better, yes its crap that it happened but if gave me a true sense of purpose to help others and I will continue to do that.
