Nearly three and a half years as a stroke survivor, I still improve daily. So slow, monotonous and frustrating but I’m still plodding along.

In a nutshell since a last wrote; I’ve returned to study (crazy, but I blame my stroke);  am a inspirational speaker; am still writing my book and work casually for LaTrobe University. I live alone; see friends and family daily; and still try and swim three times a week. Mobility wise, my improvements are slow. My balance is still far from good - ‘falls’ or ‘near falls’ are a daily occurence!  However, I’ve started pilates and am ‘aidless’ (yep, no frame or stick) walking daily for an hour. In fact, I’ve attached a photo  as ‘proof’. So, I hope to start writing again,  to hopefully demonstrate to others, that despite hiccups, never give up ‘hope’. Anything’s possible.
