Hi All,
On November 19th, 2023, I suffered a major stroke that affected the left side of my brain. We still don’t know the cause of this, just unlucky.
From the stroke I’ve been dealing with speech problems and paralysis on my right side. Don’t let this fool you, I can still understand what is being said and written (even if it comes out all jumbled when I try to speak/write).
Thankfully, my speech is gradually improving. I’m now able to walk short distances with the help of a walking stick, and I’m improving every day.
It’s been a long journey and I’m grateful to my friends and family for their unwavering support, care and love.
I also want to give a special mention to all the beautiful couples I had the honour of marrying. They will always hold a special place in my heart and I will look back with fond memories of my time as Married by Jacki.
Recovery is very tiring so I may not always have the energy to spend time with people or host visitors but please know I appreciate each and everyone of you.
