Who is Ian S Grindey?

👋 Hi, I’m Ian S Grindey a Portsmouth-based stroke survivor and curator of The Stroke Survivor’s Digest.

I begin every day sifting through reams of stroke-related news, articles and videos—so you don’t have to. 😊

I dig out all the best bits and compile them into hand-written golden nuggets of information, all on 6x4 notecards. I then jazz them up and hand-write them out on my A4 yellow notepad.

Utilising notecards, yellow writing pad & coffee (plenty of coffee!) to generate each edition of my newsletter

Finally, when all typed up, they’re sent straight to your inbox—every morning at 6 a.m.—in celebration of the dawn of a new day ☀️

What is The Stroke Survivor’s Digest?

I started the Digest for my own benefit, to satisfy my own curiosity. I had questions I needed answers to:

  1. Why me, what caused the stroke?

  2. What steps can I take to avoid having another?

  3. How can I rebuild my life?

I was, essentially, writing to myself, but soon realised I wasn’t alone.

They’re the same questions other stroke survivors, like yourself, wanted answers to.

So, I came up with the idea of sharing my knowledge, experience & wisdom in an easy-to-read digestible newsletter:

digest:

a summation or condensation of a body of information: such as a periodical devoted to condensed versions of previously published articles,

- to distribute or arrange systematically, to take into the mind or memory, to compress into a short summary.

What can you expect?

The Stroke Survivor’s Digest gets delivered to your inbox - for FREE - at 6 a.m. every morning, Monday - Friday. So you won’t miss a thing.

Why so early?
