Exactly 7 years ago, I spent #StrokeAwarenessDay undergoing emergency #thrombectomy for #basilar artery occlusion. #BAO
Today, I'm still in awe and celebrating how #modern #medicine saved me from locked-in syndrome and enabled me to live a normal life, against all odds.

Long shot but... I've just found an Urban Outfitters gift card in my personal inbox for Hannah Adams from her mom and dad.
It was sent in March last year, but I've checked and it's still useable 4 more months.
I'd guess this Hannah Adams lives in the US. Anyone know her?!

I had free school dinners. I had a full grant to enable me to be the first in my family to go to university. I was on benefits when my eldest was born. Yes, all the clichés. I've since paid many hundreds of thousands of pounds in tax. That's how it's supposed to work, isn't it?

Proud to be involved
This week for #AphasiaAwarenessMonth we would like to introduce you to Mike. Mike told us that immediately after his stroke he had worried that he would never be able to speak again. "It was scary, it was frustrating, it was everything". Watch here: bit.ly/aphasia-mike

I hope that @CMO_England @uksciencechief & colleagues will in future give their own scientific briefings to the British public unencumbered by distrust of @BorisJohnson & co. Never thought I’d say this but don’t want science to be dragged down by association with dishonesty
