Читать книгу Standing Up - Vicki Steggall - Страница 9

This is the story of the stroke that I suffered on 23 August 2011 and, more particularly, of the months and years that followed. It is based on my memories and those of my family, who deputised for me in the early post-stroke months and whose extraordinary efforts undoubtedly changed the outcome for me.

There are always many viewpoints about how events unfold. I have been as accurate as I can, but this remains a personal story about my experience.

I have learnt so much from my recovery — about life, about the way our thoughts can help or hinder our progress, and on the need to be open to my new life. I hope what I learnt will help other patients and their families.
