People with #aphasia and their spouses have described how hurt they were when their friends disappeared. Could SLP’s do more to help friends stay connected with their friends with aphasia in the early stages? – at West Midlands, England

I have #aphasia (a #communication #disability), I tried to call my local @AskNationwide to change my surname. After several attempts I keep getting transferred to the wrong department who then tell me they can’t book appointments. This is too difficult and shouldn’t be so hard!!!

With a few additions from Dahl, this unique language came to be known as Gobblefunk and was popularised by none other than The BFG!
Which is why the quote below rings true for so many stroke survivors living with aphasia, as well as the BFG 👇
ALT Image of the BFG with the quote: "Words', he said 'is oh such a twitch-tickling problem to me all my life. So you must simply try to be patient and stop suibbling. As I am telling you before, I know exactly what words I am wanting to say..."
My mum was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer. She was lucky that it was caught as stage 1 and doing well now.
I'm raising money in aid of The Little Princess Trust. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me x

May is #StrokeAwarenessMonth. Remember F.A.S.T for the signs of a stroke.
Face – has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile?
Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?
Speech – is it slurred?
Time – it’s time to call 999

ALT Body text reads: '1 in 5 people say they wouldn't be able to recognise the signs of a stroke.' Smaller body text reads: 'When stroke strikes Act F.A.S.T. Check Face, Arms, or Speech. Don't hesitate, it's Time to call 999.'
