The Donnybrook Diaries

The road well travelled ….. it’s been a long journey following a stroke and rarely have I stopped to reflect on the distance travelled, progress made or even celebrate the results. Perhaps too focussed all the time on Onwards and upwards

A very different St Patrick’s Day this year..:

The journey post stroke continues and now into my eight month of recovery., As I get stronger learning to keep wits about me with other road users… many of whom so busy reading their phones my impairments are a hazard. Onwards and Upwards.

Recharging my mojo thanks to Mick Bolger! A timely reboot on a dark and dreary January Sunday morning! Can’t thank Mick enough …. @rgmcdermott #recoveringfromstroke

Episode 2 #2022. The new year continues with the minimum daily target of 10,000 steps, indoor cycling and exercises. With fortnightly sessions at Clonskeagh Hospital the recovery is ongoing …. @rgmcdermott

The Donnybrook Diaries follows the third session at Clonskeagh Hospital on the road towards recovery. @rgmcdermott

The Christmas lights in Dublin look fabulous on a cold crisp November evening A 13km walk through the burbs, a DART into town and walk along the Liffey started the festive mood…

Now almost 6 weeks out of Royal Donnybrook Hospital and now pretty acclimatised to realities of this new life after stroke
