A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I’m a 63 year old man living in Talbot Green. In 2018 I had a stroke which has resulted in left sided weakness. My mobility is very limited but I am still determined to maintain my independence. I do however use a walking stick in the home and a wheelchair when out.
Before my stroke I led a very healthy, active and fit lifestyle and I am determined this won’t change.
