About five years ago I had a slight stroke.  It affected me mentally and it has had quite a big bearing on my life.  At the time I was very fit.  I was going to the gym three times a week and playing indoor football. 

The Doctor said try and carry on as normal. I did that for a few weeks but it seemed to slowly get on top of me. I  kept telling myself why don’t you do something about it Bernard? But apparently if it gets you it gets you. Always it will always be something that stands out in my mind.
