You know, the Queen, you know. So, and all of us in the circle is and then… and coming altogether and… running up, you know, the… I can't say it, you know the but, anyway.
Is it helpful to meet other people that have the same experience as you?
Yes. Exactly the same as me. Aphasia. One side of my body, well, the different other side of the body but I didn't know because Australia only 2 or 3 got it but… lots of people had aphasia on the right side, yeah.
