00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,120
I needed support from the reablement team
because I had the stroke in May last year,
2
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:14,520
and I was told in the hospital
I can never, ever walk again.
3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,520
I was in hospital six months,
4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,800
and the reablement team
started February this year.
5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,000
The help I’ve had is I’ve learned how to walk,
6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,320
I’ve learned how to stand on my own.
7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,840
I've learned how to wash myself,
without any help,
8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,400
apart from the bottom of my legs and my back.
9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,040
But other than that, it's been marvellous.
10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,880
The reablement team has given me
the confidence to be able to cook.
11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,480
I’m only 50, sorry 49, I’m 50 this year,
12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:49,800
and I would like to go out to get a job
13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,280
because I worked with children
and I loved it.
14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,200
So I would like another job,
15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,760
but I got to have the reablement
and the confidence to be able to get better
16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,200
and then I could maybe look for a job.
17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:08,480
The reablement service have given us
confidence to be able to stand next to her
18
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:15,080
while she's transferring and following
behind her while she's doing her walking.
19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,120
It's given me and my brother
loads of confidence
20
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,000
because we weren't really sure
what we were doing to begin with.
21
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,960
The reablement services have had a big impact
because we have less stress now about mam.
22
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:30,640
When my brother's here as well,
he knows what he's doing now.
23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,440
The reablement service
have given us peace of mind about mam.
24
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,400
So we know she's safe whatever she's doing.
25
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,880
The reablement team matters to me,
26
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,800
because they give me the ability
to be able to cook
27
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,080
cakes, cook food,
put all the ingredients in there,
28
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,080
and then mix it in,
I can put it into two separate things
29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,600
and the boys bake it.
30
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,880
The reablement service has allowed me to find
31
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,000
my confidence and my ability to carry on,
32
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,640
like maybe walking and maybe washing.
33
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,520
But that little bit
34
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,680
is everything to one person,
but it could be nothing to another person.
35
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,600
So that's what reablement did for me.
