Can I ask you to tell me in a bit more detail about the sort of things that you did with the speech therapy?
Oh yeah. They she used to, she did things like sentences mixed up and she'd write them down and she'd say, “This today, this today Romsey going shop with until Tuesday” or something like that and maybe something, oh, I've not been to, I'm not, I'm not going there until Tuesday but when I'm going to shop in Romsey.” Something with, and that was quite useful because all, some of those I couldn't work, you know, some of them are quite straightforward like “You birthday have at year last year” some, something like that and “My birthday was in April last year”, something like that, you know, and she's very good, very good [laughter] but at first that was useful and she'd give me tests like that, you know numbers as well. Sometimes numbers. And you know, quite straightforward and I think I think, I think at first, she was trying to find out what I could do and what I couldn't do. I think she was trying to work where, where I was. But as I say, she was very good for around 6 or 7 weeks. She'd come with different ones like the cheque book, the cheque book, she realised I couldn't do that and then when she realised, when I realised or when I was told that I couldn't work, work simple arithmetic things, she did give me those, you know, so things like that.
What else? Oh and a bit of comprehension where she'd give me a story and then questions at the end and make notes, we used to have at school and that was quite useful and what else did we do? And a bit of writing because that's something that I still can't do. I can't do writing and the, I know what I'm trying to say, to write a letter I'm better, I'm getting better now but a low, I had to wrote, I had to write to somebody what was it? About 2 months ago, I wrote something about a complaint I had. What was it about? I don't know. And I battled away at it and I, I couldn't, I couldn't do it right, I wrote it again and I did it, I did, I get, I think in the end it was alright and [my wife] said it was it was alright but. |
