A bride's world was turned upside down when she was left paralysed weeks before her big day, but the Paisley woman has thanked staff at the Royal Alexandra Hospital (RAH) who saved her life.
Kathleen Swallow had already rescheduled her wedding five times due to Covid-19 restrictions and faced delaying it further when she was diagnosed with the potentially deadly Guillain Barre Syndrome on February 19.
The 33-year-old was suffering with a kidney infection when she became one of the 100,000 people who are diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome every year. It meant that the antibodies in her body started to attack her nervous system as opposed to the infection, leaving her paralysed from the knees down.
