How It All Began
I consider myself to be a "can-do" individual. And yet, while I was working as an art curator, I was suddenly struck by a stroke. This unfortunate event caused paralyzation on one side of my body (hemiplegia).A blocked artery caused a stroke in my left brain, which I experienced. Both my vocal communication and my ability to move my right side of the body were impacted. After that, I spent the majority of my time in bed and was in constant need of assistance. I was a bachelor living by myself in a rented room directly above a coin-operated laundry. I can no longer walk up the steep stairway to my house due to my temporary infirmity.
Furthermore, because I live alone, I was unable to perform simple household chores and personal hygiene maintenance. I've been in a funk because of all of these unlucky and unforeseen events. At the same time, the adjustment made me feel completely overwhelmed. I can still picture myself lying on the hospital cot, my mind racing with worry. I was considering the prospect of being homeless because I didn't have any close friends at the time. Surprise! The proprietor of the self-service laundry facility and my roommate came to the rescue. He assisted me and requested assistance from Supported Living Services to apply for the NDIS.
Fate Has Brought Me to Supported Living Services
