So it's hard to believe how fast this year has gone and now 16 months later, I really do feel as though I've finally overcome my stroke emotionally. It is something that I am now able to accept and I actually no longer resent the adapted me. It's been a long journey to reach this point but something that I am finally happy to keep in my past and allow myself to move forward. The biggest thing I have learnt throughout this while experience is to appreciate those around you a lot more and to realise that having a stroke doesn't always mean your life is over, it just means you have to be ready to face one of the biggest battles you will encounter in your life and if you persevere, have determination and a support unit behind you, you will reach those achievements, so don't give up :)
