Day 4

Saturday 13th Jan I always knew that the weekends I’d really struggle. None of the taking little man to school, so a bit of dancing didn’t really cut it. Must make more of an effort tomorrow. Need to try play catch up a bit. Feeling a bit down on myself. Share

Day 3

Friday 12th Jan Hasn’t gone so well today but I was left to my own devices, which is always a dangerous thing. Unfortunately didn’t hit my daily target today, but will try again tomorrow  Share

Day 2

Thursday 11th Jan Myself and little man went on a school trip today to the zoo (so I did 8k easily)! We had great fun seeing the lions,  red pandas and penguins! Really good day out and I’m very grateful I got to experience it! Share

Day one

Wednesday 10th Jan I have downloaded “map my fitness” app and am hoping that works to track my steps, but i think I’ll keep added them to the anologue one. Bring on the next couple of months  Share

Hello

Wednesday 3rd Jan I’m new to all this but here we go! I had a stroke January 2022. Luckily they found a cause (I have Moyà Moyà syndrome) and was able to treat it pretty fast. I didn’t have surgery luckily just medication, but it was the scariest 2weeks of my life. My wedding had to be postponed (feb 2022) and I now have sensory issues I deal with everyday. I also missed my 4 yr olds bday. The staff at the Walton centre were really good and I felt safe even though I didn’t always know who I was. I was then eventually discharged, and started on my road to recovery. I have 6monthly video calls with my Doc which have all been positive. I look forward to my continued recovery and hope that what ever I raise will do some good for someone else. Share
