A dad, who could only blink and use his big toe to communicate after a stroke, has started talking again. James Gilbert, described as the "best dad in the world", is making massive strides after suffering the stroke in April 2022.
James, from Warrington, was working from home when he began to feel sick and called 999. An extra artery in his head - which had been unidentified since birth - had burst and caused a brain haemorrhage.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, the dad-of-two was alone at the time but managed to make his way into the garden where a neighbour spotted him. After being stabilised in Whiston Hospital he was whizzed to The Walton Centre for emergency surgery and treatment.
