It was a warm evening in Gran Canaria when Clare Rutter fell to the floor in agony, experiencing an inexplicable medical episode that would soon change the course of her life forever.
Clare, 41, had always dreamed of moving abroad, and when she finally gave up her job in security in Swansea for the sunny island shores of Gran Canaria in 2016, it was everything she hoped for: she hit the beach before work, lived in her shorts and flip flops, made new friends, and had her share of new experiences.
In 2017, Clare's dream came quite literally crashing down after she "face-planted the pavement" and went into convulsions for five minutes, causing a brain injury that would impact her life for years to come.
