Jacqueline Gregory had a brain haemorrhage which left her needing a major operation
Jacqueline Gregory, 61, had a sub arachnoid brain haemorrhage, which is bleeding in the space that surrounds the brain, on August 16 in 2020.
Getting the right support to help recovery was vital – but Jacqueline faced additional challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic which meant help was scarce. After two years of having no formal support, Jacqueline went to her rheumatologist at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow and finally got a referral to the Renfrewshire Head Injury Service .
“I have trouble remembering some things from right after the stroke. That’s why it was so good to have Margaret and Ann from RHIS there to help explain things to me. Now I go every fortnight to The Sunshine Club, which is a club that is run by the clients of the service and the staff help organise it.
“If I met someone in my situation who was struggling to get help, I would recommend they contact the Quarriers Renfrewshire Head Injury Service, it has helped me a lot and being a part of The Sunshine Club continues to do that.”
