Thanks Heidi. I just heard you on radio4 ...(and isn't youtube great!).. I used to say that excercise didn't improve my stroke. (1980 I was 31). This info needs to be impressed on doctors so they give (very) firm advice to patients from the outset. Unfortunately no-one ever impressed upon me in no uncertain terms that in fact it would definitely improve control and cognative abilities...so I got lazy and accepted things as they were and did most things with the good arm having been told that most improvement would occur in the first 6 weeks after I had it....so now, even though I've improved quite a bit over the years, I've still got some catching up to do - all thanks to you and your research! ...right then, I'll just go dust down my old rowing machine and then start learning calculus! Thanks again. Steve
