My story is one of overcoming injury. I acquired my injuries at age 24, and the recovery will take me the rest of my life. It is probably easiest to divide my injury to Physical and Mental / Neurological. I exhibit both Arthritis and short-term Memory loss presently. I think that is a fair trade when my initial prognosis of 'Permanent Vegetable' is considered. I have all my own hair, eyes and teeth. If anyone is interested I have a record of my recovery, that I typed for my own piece of mind. All I ask should anyone wish to read it is to tread carefully, it is my most vulnerable underbelly.

Hi @Brendan_Barnes
Welcome my friend it’s great to meet you this afternoon.
I suffered a Stroke at the age of 32.
My prognosis from day one was also very poor in the first place.
But I have ticked every box + more to date.
Please please let me know if I can be off help/support ?? -
