On monday 21st November 2005 my partner cleo had a stroke. Since then we are bashing our heads against all the problems of rehabilitation and care that most people never encounter.This blog will be a record of our road to recovery and the thoughts I have along the way.....

Moving ever onwards.....January 2008

cleo continues to progress, albeit slowly, but I have decided to start writing this blog again as there are a number of developments that should be recorded and reported as part of this diary.

Firstly: cleo is driving again. We applied some time ago for her driving licence to be reinstated, and after filling out the DVLA forms and jumping through various medical hoops we received her new licence. It was given with the proviso that she only drive a car which had been suitably modified to enable one-handed control.

We found a local company which fit hand controls and ordered the modifications. These don't come cheap: around £1000 but having been fitted our X-Trail can now be driven by cleo.
