STROKE GROUP<br />
“Eight months ago, I had a stroke, leaving me with my<br />
left side paralysed,” says Jacqui Dawson, who is hoping<br />
to form a support group for <strong>Lewes</strong> people who have<br />
been or are going through the same experience. Her<br />
recovery has been positive since, but the whole episode<br />
came “out of the blue; it was a big shock for me, my<br />
friends and my five children.”<br />
Jacqui lives on her own, so “recovery has been hardgoing<br />
at times, and isolating and lonely, too.”<br />
She realised it might have been a lot easier if she knew<br />
people who could relate to her illness, “so I got the<br />
idea of starting a group, exchanging ideas about coping<br />
strategies: for example I’ve found acupuncture to be<br />
very good. But not just for that, it could be something<br />
of a social group, too, meeting up once a month, or once<br />
a fortnight.”<br />
If anyone would like to meet up with Jacqui for a coffee<br />
to discuss this further, please do get in touch, via e-mail:<br />
