A woman had to re-learn how to walk after suffering from a sudden brain injury which left her in a coma. In November 2010, Barbara Thomas was getting ready to go for a shopping trip with her daughter before she fell to the floor without any warning.
Barbara was rushed to hospital where they discovered that she had a subarachnoid haemorrhage - an uncommon type of stroke caused by bleeding on the surface of the brain - and spent months in a coma.
The 67-year-old from Cymmer, said: “My daughter was coming up to take me shopping and I went into the bathroom to get ready and I shouted ‘my head’. I fell to the floor with the toothbrush still in my mouth.
