The Life After Stroke Collection

A New Lease of Life

 

To play this movie you will need Microsoft Windows Media Player. This comes with most recent versions of Windows, but if you have an older version of Windows, or need to reinstall Windows Media Player, you can download it from the Microsoft website.

Margaret talks about her life as a very shy child who grew into a quiet and self-contained wife and mother, guarding and valuing her privacy.

She describes how her initial resentment of the care team who came into her home following a stroke transformed into friendship, giving her the confidence to attend the local stroke patient clubs which have brought about a new lease of life.
