Hi everyone On the 28th of Sept while at work I had a stroke,lucky for me (well not so lucky) they managed to get me into hospital to give me some drugs to burst the clot on my brain. Well after spending 9 days in hospital after lots of physiotherapy and tests they discharged me. I sort of got off quite lightly with the stroke compared to some I seen in hospital,my walking,my balance my coordination are out of sync with my brain. Unfortunately for me I can't drive a large vehicle (bus/coach driver) for 12 months so that's me out of work for the foreseeable.
On a positive side I get to play my guitar only problem with that is I have with my left and right hands seem a bit confused where they need to be on the guitar. But I have plenty of time, I am going to have to start from fresh again until I get my hands working again and remember where they need to be. I know it's early days but I am determined to not let it beat me.
ta ta for now.
Grant

Sad news indeed. I'm sure playing the guitar will help with your recovery. Good luck. On a positive side I get to play my guitar only problem with that is I have with my left and right hands seem a bit confused where they need to be on the guitar. Sounds like you've caught up with quite a few of us already. Iain

Sorry to hear of your news, the brain is an amazing thing, with practice other parts will hopefully take over the function of the damaged cells, so as others have said the more you practice the better.
