Man hopes to make himself cup of tea after his arm 'drooped'

A man has made it his mission to make a cup of tea for himself again after he suffered a stroke at just 33.

Sam Rawlinson, from Old Swan, was at a friend's house on November 26, 2022, when he "fell asleep" on the couch. It wasn't until his friend's daughter came over that they realised his arm and leg had "drooped" and they called an ambulance.

Sam was taken to Aintree Hospital, where providers had a four hour window to get a CT scan, which confirmed he had suffered a stroke, and administer medication to him. He was then taken to a stroke ward where doctors found he had lost movement in his left arm and leg, and was unable to walk.
