Back to work

6 months since my stroke and 4 weeks since I last used my walking stick and went back into the classroom and taught 3 lessons today. Went really well, only working 1 day a week until Christmas but over the moon as I didn't know if I'd walk again, let alone be able to manage classes.

It's been a painful journey, but I've been working on my physio for a few hours everyday (and will need to for a long time yet)and am well on my way back to doing all the things I was before, at least as well as can be expected with no feeling in my left hand and foot! Never give up!
