I rather doubt anyone will read this or will have missed my postings as its a long time since I did but here goes: I toyed with the idea of closing this Blog down but I rather like looking back at the memories so it has had a reprieve. The truth is that last year on the memorable date 29th February I had a stroke which put me in hospital for nearly a month. I consider myself very fortunate that this occurred while I was in A&E whilst being checked over after a mini one. Symptoms had gone, all checks normal, and as I waited to be discharged a second much more serious left side stroke occurred. Because I was in A&E they were able to give the clot busting treatment that can only be administered within three hours of the stroke. I had wonderful therapists and sheer determination to walk again in order to look after my husband who has COPD.
As part of my recover which has been amazing, I practiced drawing with my left hand which had lost power. I have now recovered all that I lost and can walk freely and my left side limbs function again. As new pathways form in my brain the improvement will continue. I will paint again but in the meantime here are some of the drawings I managed to o with my left hand whilst recovering. These won’t make any gallery but they were a triumph like climbing a mountain at the time.
