Brian's story

I had to relearn how to do almost everything after my stroke. I still struggle with my speech, especially when I am tired. I find reading difficult and writing is impossible at this stage. My comprehension is improving. I am getting more independent on my good days. I learnt early that rest is really important to rehabilitation. I spent the first six months doing intensive learning with sounds and speech. I have now included more external assistance with exercises like swimming, walking, and the gym. I am also riding a Step-Through-Ebike for short distances which is easier to get on and off, but I still find putting my helmet on a challenge. I have spent time relearning all these things too.
