0.03 -> I had a low libido before my stroke but
2.76 -> also was not in a relationship due to
4.68 -> health issues now since my stroke I feel
7.74 -> more able to make a sincere though of a
9.719 -> relationship but I also feel inadequate
11.969 -> at the same time I'm 60
14.58 -> where do I go to find love yeah this is
19.609 -> for every person and it can feel so much
23.189 -> harder after stroke so I suppose the two
29.49 -> main choices are around finding
31.89 -> opportunities just to be around other
33.63 -> people people you click with and and see
36.87 -> what happens and I think you know final
39.39 -> opportunity local community where people
41.19 -> get together and that could be around a
45.45 -> hobby or activity Alicia or it could be
50.719 -> voluntary work or something like that
52.41 -> you know it's meeting thought people
53.789 -> meet people there formless chips in a
56.37 -> work role or something like that so it
58.59 -> could be by doing an activity together
60.69 -> you get to know people and importantly
62.91 -> people get to know you as a person and
64.68 -> rather than seeing you as a label
66.119 -> whatever and then obviously in this day
69.42 -> and age people use online dating
72.06 -> websites and things like that and that's
75.24 -> I mean that's a really complicated issue
77.04 -> because a lot of research has shown that
79.92 -> for stroke survivors as far as brain
82.65 -> injury navigating certain websites
85.58 -> vitamins can be really difficult if you
88.38 -> have communication difficulties if you
91.799 -> have other cognitive rules that impacts
93.18 -> on how you access and navigate fields in
96.45 -> the website can be really difficult
98.15 -> so this arrange choices I think there
101.13 -> are there are eating agencies that will
105.75 -> come to you create a profile
109.32 -> and there are data entities that
110.99 -> exclusively for people disabilities some
115.41 -> have been featured on the channel 4
117.03 -> programme the Unbeatables for example I
119.51 -> have the supposed people to use those
122.4 -> and they have been successful people but
124.59 -> they're really expensive they're talking
126.99 -> you know between seven hundred two
128.97 -> thousand pounds and I suppose the
130.8 -> question is what price would you put on
133.98 -> finding mr. or mrs. right for you and
136.709 -> some people would invest that money to
139.41 -> get that support and not we lost the
141.36 -> websites that don't work for them some
143.19 -> people don't have that money to reverse
144.39 -> so there are a range of things I think
147.26 -> there is a big disability relationships
151.53 -> movement outside of stroke so there are
154.23 -> websites that have been developed for
156.66 -> and groups that support people to find
159 -> love with different disabilities so you
162.9 -> know it's it's worth again we'll put
164.79 -> some links down below it works
166.56 -> and two things to check out but I
169.26 -> suppose it's just getting connected to
171.15 -> people first of all a lot of people end
173.19 -> up very isolated following stroke and
177.78 -> people need to find ways to reconnect to
180.129 -> meet people like and I click live and
181.72 -> see what happens
184.13 -> [Music]
186.94 -> [Applause]
192.71 -> [Music]
