Hi Tara

Hope your doing ok

6 surgery’s that’s incredible

Are you all back together now

How’s your recovery going

Hi. recovery is very slow. but I take every day as it comes

my stroke was in April 2017.

my brain swelled up so much they removed half my skull.

6 surgeries later I’ve got a titanium plate instead and a reservoir to drain the brain fluid. I’ve learnt to eat drink and walk again but still haven’t got any movement in my arm yet but it’s early days. Xx

Hi Tara

Hope your doing ok today

I’d love to here more about your story

My wife has just had brain surgery she too swelled and is now Hemiplegic and can’t talk

It’s now week 17 since it happened to her

The first month was coma and icu she doesn’t remember any of that

Just now making some words

And eating a little

It’s great to here that your walking talking and eating

Physio told me hand and arm are the last things to come back because of the greater range of movement in the hands and arm

Are you having physio on your arm still
