Hi all.

My lovely husband of 52 suffered a major stroke 2 weeks ago. He has lost speech and the use of his right arm. As far as towing goes, I am going to train and get that sorted, no stopping me there.

This is a query really. Have any of you suffered similar and are back on the road again? I am confident that he will recover, I just don't know the time scales. I just want to know if any other members have suffered this dibilitation and are on the other side?

My life is a bit of a car crash at the mo. Work are being totally wonderful about it all. I have plenty of support but I would like a balance of views as to whether the car crash will end in total demolition or whether it can Cat C and be repaired. 😏

So sorry to hear of this. A colleague of mine suffered a stroke whilst in his 40s. This affected his left side and he had to learn to walk again. His communication skills were also affected but this was more to do with his working vocabulary. He would find it difficult to find the right words and often his his choice was wrong. The great thing was he had determination and saw the amusing side to this 'ability'. It took time but eventually he returned to work and continued to be a valued member of our management team.

Time and determination are great healers.
