Hi, my name is Clare

in Start here and say hello!
I’m here, after having 2 brain haemorrhages and a small stroke 5 years ago. My mobility is impaired, as is my short term memory, and a dozen other few things, but I’ve never lost my sense of humour!  Becoming more frequently isolated as children have flown the nest and so did the husband! Would like to chat to people who understand.
