Stroke after effectsMy name is Pauline, I had a stroke 6 years ago. I lost my memory and still have great problems remembering things, people's names, how to get somewhere, how to get back!. I'm terrified of getting lost and if my husband moves a few steps from where I left him, I panic. I've also lost my confidence. I play short mat bowls twice a week and enjoy the camaraderie. Most of the people in the club have health problems of their own. We help each other. After I had the stroke, I have had several minor strokes (TIA) Whilst the Stroke Unit were great at the medical issues, I felt the follow up support was non existent. Yes there were clubs, but all they wanted to do was play games like bingo! Anyone with any experience of this?
