        I had a stroke at the age of 53 and have permanent disabilities. It is not really a joking matter. No matter what you think of him the impact of #stroke is life changing. I wish him all the best for a good recovery

        If the worst happens, and nobody cracks the obvious when asked for the time of death, I'll be VERY disappointed.

        Oh no! 😢 I wouldn’t wish this on anyone! I’m a stroke survivor too. Left with permanent disabilities! But I’ve come along way sinc my stroke! From cabbage being tube fed and unable to speak to driving, eating, speaking, writing and eating. Stay strong & determined! You can do it

        It took me 19 months post stroke. I had about 20 or so lessons with a BSM adapted car. I had to learn to use hand controls and then had to pass an hour and half assessment. Had to get local MP involved as DVLA was useless. My brain needed to get used to everything too.

        Concentration! Tell me about it. Having to do so much at the same time, it’s so tiring ! Can now drive for at least 100 miles or so, with music on and can cope with it. It’s taken 3 years though but now the controls come automatically to me. You can do it! 😊

        Stroke is not just an old people's injury. I was only 36 when I had mine. I hope he makes a good recovery. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
