Hello Scotty.
Really pleased you have posted with good news. I was getting concerned.
I imagine it has been a traumatic time for you and your family following the stroke.
Best take things steady, keep yourself relaxed and do your best with the physio exercising.
Aum

Hi scotty ,
popped on to see if you had updated , so glad ur back home , now time to rest up and get stronger all my love ?
Thank you for visiting my new diary Scotty. You have been a great inspiration and I look on with admiration as you approach One Year Gamble Free.
Hope your strength and mobility are returning after suffering the stroke. You have certainly had more than your share of troubles but you have responded bravely with courage and integrity.
Keep smiling and enjoy your weekend.
Aum.

Hi Scotty ???
Although I don’t come on here anymore I was made aware that you had been in hospital and not been very well and I wanted to just leave you a little message to wish you well and hope you make a swift recovery. I also wanted to let you know that although I may not be on here I do think of you fondly and think about your progress often. Even now I think back to our chats about bananas and cheesecakes and that will stay with me for life so whether you know it or not, you have had a real impact on many lives on here with your kindness, honesty and being a lovely, caring and funny person. I really hope you are feeling better soon and although I won’t be making a regular appearance or posting, I will be checking back in on your progress and how you are getting on with your health. I read the post your wife left and I had a real giggle when she wrote you insisted she had to put bananas ??. Even from a hospital bed, your personality shines through.
Sending my warmest wishes,
Your friend
Lively ❤️
Glad you're feeling better

Many thanks for posting on my diary Scotty.
Hope you are keeping well.
I will make a point of being in the Peeraid Chatroom Friday morning and hope to see you there.
Aum ?
Hi all been having Trouble getting on the chat keeps kicking me out not sure why anyway just to let you know I am making steady progress got a bit more feeling back in my left arm being left-handed doesn’t help Keep forgetting how weak it is on a positive note i had my covid jab I am nearly 1 year gamble free the last few have been difficult thank God for the blocks don’t want to gamble just needed something to escape just for 10 minutes glad I haven’t it’s 10 minutes turn into an hour £1 turns into £100 Hopefully with the weather turning nicer we will be able to get out still walking the dogs I can’t go too far on my own can be very frustrating that’s enough of me waffling on hope everyone is okay hopefully I’ll be able to get on chat soon I’ll try tomorrow take care for now.
Scotty??
Hi scotty,im glad to hear you are home and able to go for walks with the dogs even if you cant do as much as you would like too..you are doing amazing considering and well done on coming up to a year gamble free.
In terms of your arm just a small tip although im sure your drs are giving you the best advice but have you got a stress ball? Using one of them is good for strengthening your arm.
