Stroke Training and Awareness Resources (STARs)


Flora’s thoughts and concerns

Ability

Have I really recovered enough that I could drive again?

Car

I love my little car, I would so like to be behind the wheel again.

Family

It would help so much if I could pick up the grandchildren from school again.

Husband

I really don’t think he should be driving much longer, will we end up depending on others?

Isolation

How will we manage out here in the country will we have to move house?

Social

I really miss being able to go places to meet friends when I want to or just go to the shops on my own.

Fear

It’s so long since I’ve driven now, what if I fail, I don’t think I can pass my test again.
