Raver50032 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Best wishes @Villan4Life Very sorry to hear this news. There are some posters here at VT who I seem to read their posts in a particular voice. Often, this is associated with either spelling/grammar mistakes. But most often, this is associated with the avatar they choose. So, I've spent most of the time reading your posts but with Bungle's voice in my head. Take care... hope you get back to full time VT service soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post John Posted January 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) So sorry to hear the news Chris. I had one myself 15 months ago so I know what a shock it is. You always think of it as something that happens to someone else but in our case we were that "someone else". Recovery will be a long hard road but each day/week can bring slight improvements that can in time become big ones. Keep doing the physio day in and day out, it really does work. It is very tough to start from square one again with things like hand, arm and leg movement, I always said "onwards and upwards" and so it proved. Aim to get as near as possible to how you were before your stroke in the fullness of time. Improvements can continue to occur for two years after the stroke and I can vouch for that happening in the first 15 months. Writing, typing, gripping, balance and in time walking (with the help of a crutch and then a walking stick) are things that will hopefully start again/improve with constant exercise. Missing Villa games was tough for me as was being unable to do my VT match player ratings but I now get down to games again can drive and use buses. I walk very slowly but I have found fans around the ground and staff/fans inside the ground to be very kind and understanding. Try to maintain a very positive attitude Chris. You will have the support of your family (to whom this will have been an equal shock) and of your friends. Hard working and caring hospital staff and physios will be giving it 110% to get you back to as near to where you were as is possible. Please feel free to message me as someone who has "been there" at any time should you wish. Get better each day mate!

villaglint Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 So let me get this right. The Villa finally start scouring the lower leagues and beyond for young exciting talent and @Villan4Life nearly keels over in shock. Don't go now buddy we need you to come back to tell us who all these players are! How will VT function if we can't decide whether a player is crap or not before he's kicked a ball for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
