    Hi @mrsboffin

    “No Probs”

    “In Spain 1998”

    It has caused me big problems ever since!!!

    Wow! I bet that was difficult, having something like that happen in a foreign country... how old were you? I was 38. Have you been left with any lasting issues? I have to use a stick now as I can’t walk very far at all

    Hi @mrsboffin

    Yes it was our first day on holiday.

    It was worse for my wife initially as she had also got our two year old son by herself.

    Yes I was 38 at the time as well.

    Wow yes the Stroke effected my left hand side.

    I have also had further problems with my right hand side since.

    How about you??????
