She found it helpful to sit and chat with stroke liaison nurse and had been provided with the equipment that she needed for the stairs and bathroom.

 



The Stroke Liaison Nurse comes in and she sits with me and we have a chat and she, any questions and she tells me all about different things and that and she's very nice and friendly, she likes to come in. To be quite honest, I think I'll have to give her a phone because she's going to come in and see me about this new shower I'm supposed to be getting, which is very helpful too. And they were, it was them who came up to see me before I got the hand rails in the shower and the toilet. That's really a helpful thing too, and the stairs. I couldn't manage without them and they're helpful for my husband too. I, he's just needing it just as much as me [laughter].
