Summary
Lady in her 50's who has had multiple strokes leading to the loss of my eye and left sided weakness is looking for someone who is patient and considerate who enjoys chatting as I love to have a good chat and have a great sense humour once you get to know me. The hours will be over a couple of days to start with as I can be shy until I get to know someone but once I am comfortable with you, I will be able to become myself. I really enjoy being outside if the weather is good, so I am wanting someone who is willing to go for a coffee with me or take me out, so I am not always in the house. I also have osteoporosis and an auto immune disorder which leaves me with a weakened immune system. Due to my strokes, I do have cognitive memory loss which requires gentle reminding, and this can lead to increasing my anxiety levels. One very important thing that I need for a person is for them to inform me if you are going to do anything with me due to my sight loss.
