A fit and healthy dad-of-two had his life turned upside down when he experienced a sudden and unexpected stroke. Dave Jones was 36 when he suffered a brain stem bleed which resulted in temporary vision and movement loss.
Due to his age, health and fitness, Dave from Ammanford passed off his vision loss and sudden head aches as a viral infection. However when he finally saw doctors at Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthenshire, he was surprised to hear he had suffered a brain haemorrage, and could go into a coma at any point.
He said: "I remember the stroke like it was yesterday. I was young, fit and healthy. I went to the gym three times a week, I would walk the dog five to six miles a day.
