Hi my name is Bill

Hi my name is Bill and I came across the Scope website whilst doing some research. I have read through comments, personal stories and much more. I found the content to be very informative and really interesting. I recently had a stroke and currently in recovery at home now. I still find it strange to convey to people that I have a disability but now starting to face the fact that I am disabled. I still think and feel the way I was pre stroke if that makes sense. Anyway here I am getting on with my physio and trying to get back to some kind of normality. Would just like to say hello to all of you out there and will continue to check in to What’s new in the Scope world.

Hi Bill (@lumsden69)

Like yourself I stumbled upon this community whilst researching & am glad I did. It's great to read about your positive attitude. 'You' are still 'you' & whilst you may have to do some things differently, you'll get there. Keep up the good work with your physio. Nice to 'meet' you.
