Story
I'm doing this abseil for my dad who had a stroke 6 years ago and for a member of my team at work who suffered a stroke on the 1st October last year and is still in hospital. Stroke affects everyone in different ways. How you are affected will depend on which part of your brain has been damaged and how severe your stroke is.
A stroke can affect the way your body works as well as how you feel, think and communicate.
When my dad had his stroke he was physically fine, when the ambulance came he got up, got his jacket on, put his shoes on and tied his laces as normal but he could not communicate at all. He could not understand how to use the tv remote he had been using for years. Couldn't make a cup of tea. He list vision to the left side of both his eyes as well but this has now returned. He has made a great recovery but his speech will never be perfect.
My colleague suffered in a different way. Lost movement down the left side, couldn't eat to start with and struggled to talk. He stroke affected his muscles.
A stroke can happen to anyone at any age and At any time. When it does the first 2 hours are critical for treatment. The recovery process is so important and I want to help support the people who are making a huge difference to those who have had a stroke and there families.
Please please give what you can to help me reach my target.
Thank you xxx
