[liz-maxwell in reply to Hidden]

I'm good thank you, I've been throw a lot but doing well now led a prity solitude lonely life, it's hard making friends, read a lot of people's comment's and feel wear all in the same boat with people that will understand what life is like without having to explain myself or taken advantage of.

[liz-maxwell in reply to Hidden]

Sorry ment to ask, How are you?

[Hidden in reply to liz-maxwell]

Thanks - well as my son 21 just popped home and sat on my bed for a chat. Mainly about tractors...but he recalled when I had been in hospital a couple of years ago after a suspected stroke (I couldn't speak) but I have no memory of it at all! He was all cheerful and has now gone off to one of his jobs. Oh and the sun is shining!

[liz-maxwell in reply to Hidden]

It's sunny here in Stirling too it pirks you up, if it's important for you to remember you can help yourself by someone telling you what happend and writing it down or get a copy of hospital report so you can reread it to jog your memory,

Like the others have said this is a great forum. Ask away....but be prepared for several different answers. What works for one dont always worj for another and all that.

Its a great place just to share...or have a moan when on a bad day....we all have them.

Once again welcome to our strange family.....who wants to be normal anyway.

Lol, yea defo l like a challenge life is never dull or boring, I am prepared for anything now, I've been like this for 20+ years

[paxo05 in reply to liz-maxwell]

Oh I feel so young having only been reborn 17 years ago.

Yep life if nothing else is not boring.

Like I said earlier ask questions or just comment in general anything is accepted on here even the odd rant....but try and keep it clean ...I suppise we are monitored as we are seldom left ttoget on wirh things our way.

Maybe the world would be better if they put us all in charge...now theres an idea sod brexit lets have headexit......think a lot of us have already had one of those already , I know I have.

Hi Liz

And welcome. Lovely picture of you 🙂. Xx. Memory problems yes, and my mother still five years later is unable to grasp the concept of BI, and often says 'you do have an atrocious memory !'

The sun is shining in East Sussex today after a chilly start .
