When this film was made, it was nine months after his stroke. Jim has Dysarthria. This is caused by the weakness of the muscles of the face, mouth and breathing. Notice how much effort Jim has to use and how he has difficulty projecting or raising his voice. Some people like Jim may have difficulty with drooling or food pocketing at the side of their mouth. Dysarthria is not a problem understanding speech but of producing and forming the words because of weakness.<\/p>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cCan you tell me how long it was since you had your stroke?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s last, last September and that\u201d \u201cI went to hospital till Christmas.\u201d \u201cI got out two days before Christmas.\u201d \u201cI got out just before and that\u2019s me home after that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSo you were in about three months in hospital?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> \u201cAha.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cJim do you find it difficult to use the telephone at home?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNo, not really.\u201d \u201cBut getting the some, sometimes they get certain words that they did nay work right over the telephone eh.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m sitting there too\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSo some words don\u2019t come over very well?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAye like some people don\u2019t understand eh.\u201d \u201cBut that\u2019s what I\u2019m saying, it\u2019s better face to face with somebody and they understand it better eh.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> \u201cSo face to face is better.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAye\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnd you think they can sort of understand you better and see your gestures as well as the words.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThat\u2019s right aye.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> \u201cYeah, yeah.\u201d \u201cAnd are you nervous about using the telephone?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNo really, no, no.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat do your family and friends do to help you with your communication?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWell they just come and talk to me about things that, the football and that.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s what they do eh.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> \u201cSo things that you\u2019re interested in. \u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAye, aye\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTo engage you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTalking about football and that mainly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnd what team do you support?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHibs\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHibs\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNot much to talk about them eh.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cJim is there anything that, any advice that you would give to people er, if they are trying to communicate with somebody that\u2019s obviously had a stroke and their speech isn\u2019t so good?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOne thing, be very patient with people eh.\u201d \u201cBecause they don\u2019t understand at first and take your time to see what they mean, make them known.\u201d \u201cTry to express yourself to them so that helps eh.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnd what about sort of if they are not sure of the word, does saying the word back and you\u2019ll say that\u2019s right or no that\u2019s not what I said, does that\u2026?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSay to them that\u2019s no right.\u201d \u201cSay it this way and they understand what you\u2019re talking about eh.\u201d \u201cIf the person can\u2019t understand you eh because you feel that stupid eh, but it\u2019s just frustration eh.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYeah and like you were saying before face to face is better.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAye, aye\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYeah\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jim:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> \u201cBetter talking to me face to face and see changing expressions on the face, you can tell from that too.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alison: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAha\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the following film you will see a person who has dysarthria.
