Update on Tracy. Its been a while since I posted an update on Tracys progress. So here goes. 13 weeke ago today Tracys life (and mine) was shattered by having that god awful stroke which left her paralysed down her left side. To say our lives have changed is an understatement. Our main priority since then has been (and always will be) getting Tracy back to peak health and fitness. But in the last 13 weeks, we have also, moved house, cancelled a marriage, cancelled a wedding blessing abroad, had a huge cut in income, have re-arranged another wedding - all on top of our ongoing quest to get Tracy well. Physically, Tracys improvement has been amazing. In fact Tracy is amazing. She can walk now, abeit with a stick and can move and has some use of her left hand. Outwardly she appears normal (if Tracy ever was truly normal lol) What people dont see is the devastating emotional and psychological affects of stroke. The link below gives a brief insight to the changes that many stroke survisors experience - so if you see Tracy and you think - wow - she has done so well, Yes she has - but she still has a long way to go (sorry to be longwinded - I just feel really strongly about the emotional and psychological side effects of stroke) stroke.org.uk/news/emotional-effects-stroke-devastating-physical-effects-says-new-report
