#strokerecovery — Public Fediverse posts

I've been recovering for over 10 years from what was probably a stroke. Memory loss almost fully restored, but a recent college math class revealed broken connections to ... the multiplication tables, of all things! Successful at comprehending algebra, but CANNOT recall 4x9.

SWANSEA: City rallies for ‘our Kev’ as fundraiser launched after stroke

Jessica Rice, a close family friend, has set up the fundraiser to help ease financial pressures on Kev and his wife Rosie as he begins his recovery — with more than £2,200 already raised.

Known affectionately as “our Kev”, the much-loved entertainer has been a fixture of Swansea life for decades — from the panto stage at the Grand Theatre to the airwaves and the Swansea City stadium.

Now, the man who has spent a lifetime lifting others is being backed by the community he has given so much to.

In a heartfelt message on the fundraiser page, supporters said: “Kevin Johns MBE has been the heart of Swansea for decades… always showing up, always supporting others, and never asking for anything in return.

“Now, Kev needs us.”

Kev suffered a stroke and now faces a period of recovery where he is unable to work — coming after what friends describe as an already difficult few years.

Throughout it all, his wife Rosie has remained by his side “day and night”, with the fundraiser describing her support as the “true meaning of marriage”.

The page adds: “This fundraiser is our chance to give back to someone who has spent his life giving to others.

“We want Kev back doing what Kev does best — and he absolutely will be — but he needs the space and freedom to heal properly first.”

The appeal has struck a chord with many across Swansea, where Kev’s voice and personality have become part of the city’s identity.

Swansea Bay News previously reported that Kev was recovering after a minor stroke, and has also highlighted his incredible career — including more than 30 years as Swansea’s iconic panto dame and being awarded the Freedom of the City.

Supporters say this latest appeal is a chance for Swansea to “come together for Kev — just as he has always come together for us”.

Donations, big or small, are being welcomed to help Kev and Rosie focus fully on his recovery and return to the stage, the mic and the city he loves.

Receptive aphasia is one of the most challenging — and often misunderstood — consequences of stroke. Survivors can hear perfectly well, yet struggle to understand spoken words. This happens when stroke damage affects the brain's language processing centers, particularly Wernicke's area in the left hemisphere.

Onesie Quilt Project

My niece wants me to make her a quilt using her daughter’s outgrown onesies. Leah Day has a practical, inexpensive method, but touching fabric fires off my dang “burning tinglies” that I’m fighting during my #strokerecovery. Also, I’m determined to engage her in the process; not doing hours of work while she sits on her phone or visits friends. So my niece will need to do a lot of the prep work…

Day 2 of retail therapy: just arrived home from *physical* therapy to a stack of boxes. One body pillow to support tingly arms while reading, new pair of AFO friendly shoes (that fit), replacement ultrasonic cleaner, matching left wrist brace for carpal tinglies, and some kitchen towels for gifts.

Whew. Feeling like I’m taking more control of my #strokerecovery and ready to enjoy life more.
