Open-brain surgery, AVM brain haemorrhage (congenital), in 1995. Gait, balance, sensory loss, aphasia; unable to walk, talk, read, write, remember. Now, One-Handedly, off-and-on Covid-lockdowns: Walk Study at universities; practice-the-moves of Elevate Brace, Walk with/without legbrace, How-to tutorials, 60th Birthday, .. and more. Practice, perseverance, persistence, patience - one day at a time.

Video 2022-01: WALK Taupo hotpool, No+Elevate Brace Hilton Jacqui Hynd

Balance-Walk (no brace) in a hotpool, Taupo, North Island, NZ – I've improved over the years.

My 60th birthday at Hilton; 26th year after AVM-stroke: with normal legbrace, then Elevate brace, also my laced-up boots DIY-version.

I still experience impaired sensation on my right side, although I have better balance and reach.


Video 2022-02: One Hand: Pull Up Doll Sequin Tsunami Cake Jacqui Hynd

Pull-me-Up Tsunami cake - excited; seriously, could I do it one-handedly?

Devise steps (aphasia), OneHand pipe ganache (How-to in video), take selfies (use: my left) with a traditional compact camera that is right-handed - right is non-functional post-AVM-stroke; hip-Action to steady the workspace.

Check out how I did it...

My Anti-gravity Float Coruba Cake - wow, how to create that one-handedly?
