Great News, Thought i'd share
Well a couple of years ago (may 04) to be correct, my Father had a stroke whilst driving, luckily he was on a quiet street and just mounted the kerb and hit a tiny wall where he came to a stop...
Unfortunately it took away his speech, couldn't walk, partially def and lost the use of his right arm and was constantly confused, he hardly recognized me for months and months and would even sometimes ignore me when i went to visit...
After 6 months of being in a wheel chair in hospital the local council adapted his house so he could go home, I visited as often as i could and just made sure he could be as comfy as poss...
Well today i've had a phone call, My Dad has managed to walk 4ft with walking sticks, not much i know but maybe, just maybe he will get some of his freedom back!
Its the best news i've had since my daughter was born!
Fuckin brilliant infact!
