A dad-of-two went to bed ready for his daughter's birthday only to wake to find he didn't know where he worked or even what his date of birth was. Dave Bolton was so unaware of what had happened to him he even tried to kick out the paramedics called to his home.
However once he realised there were vital gaps in his memory was he knew there was something seriously wrong. And after allowing them to take him to hospital he learned he had a brain tumour the size of a tennis ball, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Dave was just 33 when his life changed overnight. He went to bed as normal but awoke just before midnight to find the paramedics in his bedroom. It transpired he had suffered a 15 minute nocturnal seizure.
