Western Suburbs Stroke Survivors meeting - avoiding a stroke
Kia ora,
Did you know in New Zealand about 9,000 people each year have a stroke. Some 2,000 die from a stroke; about another 2,000 are left severely incapacitated, about another 2,000 have considerable disability and the rest have some disability or nearly recover. Nobody recovers completely.
It is estimated that some 50% of strokes can be avoided with life style changes. Interested to find out what you can do to have a good chance to avoid a stroke??
Our next meeting of the Western Suburbs Stroke Survivors will be on Tuesday 11th July at 10.30am at Huntleigh Home, 221 Karori Road.
To find us go in and past Reception and turn right.
We look forward to meeting all fellow stroke survivors, carers and friends and discussing how we are getting on.
Nga mihi,
Peter Macleod
Convenor
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
