I created this site to share my experience in the hope it can help raise awareness and benefit other stroke survivors.

Mobility, independence and the Splatt

The Splatt operation was almost 8 months ago and it was right up there with the more challenging part of my stroke recovery journey.

Splatt update: Few nervous moments…

The operation was 3 weeks ago and the surgeon was pleased, but it was an interesting week for me. Two things happened that made me nervous.

Operation Ouch - Splatt!

I was left with longstanding and permanent disabilities affecting my ability to live independently and living a good quality.

Head down, bum up...

I am 9 years post stroke and I am still looking for ways to be able to function better so this is a quick life and recovery update.

Most stroke survivors experience fatigue in some form. Like many debilitating symptoms of stroke, fatigue is an invisible symptom.

Paul Fink is lucky to be alive. His family was nearly torn apart when - aged just 34, he suffered a massive stroke.
