Hi dfward , first of all can I say how sorry I am to hear of your strokes and your disability. It is difficult to know what to eat and when and how much when you are not burning it off with excersise . Your metobolic rate may be slower too .
I am also disabled and live alone , also unable to do excersise but can walk short distances .I have the opposite problem and am losing weight so I feel unable to offer you any advise as such. Maybe your occupational therapist or your GP can help if you talk to them. All the best. :-) x

Hi dfward have you tried getting in touch with your local stroke club ? They usually meet up weekly and will help you plan exercises and perhaps you could join in with the wide range of activities they have such as days out etc. To find out more ring 08453033100 to ask for the location of your nearest branch.
