Jo joined us from the charity Different Strokes to answer Sunflower wearers' questions and to explain what a stroke is, the signs to look out for, and what action to take, as well as advice about the support available to patients.

Hayette had a stroke at age 32 and has been on a long journey of rehabilitation and recovery; she talks us through the surgeries she had and the everyday things that she has had to relearn through a multitude of therapies.

F.A.S.T

F is face.

A is arm.

S is speech.

T is time.

Different Strokes add two additional letters to the acronym B.E.F.A.S.T = B. Balance and E. Eyes - find out why by listening to the full conversation, which is packed full of helpful advice.

If you are experiencing any issues discussed in this podcast, please contact your healthcare practitioner.
