A gran recognised she was having a stroke because she had watched her husband have one three years earlier.
Nancy Barron’s stroke caused aphasia - leaving her unable to speak, read or write. But because of the help given to her by Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland, she has now found her voice and is able to do her daily crosswords once more.
Nancy, 64, of Perth, had a stroke 10 months ago. She had just returned home from a dinner to celebrate her husband Chris’ birthday when she collapsed.
