The sad side of strokes!

 If this hadn't happened to me I wouldn't believe it. People who have strokes change and some change totally.

Last year I had a phone call from an acquaintance, which was very strange. She was very upset and kept saying she was going to be arrested. I managed to get our of  that she had been able to access the 'dark web'  and that she by chance had come across some videos, that were of children being abused!

If they find out I'll be arrested she kept saying. Because she lived quite a long way from us. I phoned her brother and his reaction was, that his sister was always messing up using her computer and not so very long ago had tied herself up to an American firm, who were charging her £70 a month for a beauty cream.. anyway I did get him to go to see her, because she had phoned me again, saying that she was afraid that Social Services now know and that she was expecting the police to arrive at any moment.

When her brother arrived at her house she had more or less barricaded herself in and he had trouble getting her to let him in. He got a Dr to come to see her and she was diagnosed with some small strokes, which had affected her brain! She also had some appointments with a psychiatrist for a short time after, although she nor her family admitted to that, but a friend of her told me.

All sad and odd, why did she phone me? We don't communicate much these days. because she is still convinced that her laptop was the cause and so she won't use it any more, but she still uses her phone to access the internet!

Ah well as the saying goes...' There's none so queer as folk!'
