A Scots mum who was left paralysed by an orange-sized brain tumour says she feels like a prisoner after being ‘trapped in her bedroom’ for years. Mary Frances Bradley claims that her North Ayrshire Council home is too small for her wheelchair to move around and has to be carried from room to room by her husband Thomas.
The 47-year-old, a former cleaning supervisor, had a large mass on her brain removed during emergency surgery at the Southern General Hospital in 2013.
But the mum-of-two suffered left-sided paralysis below the waist as well as losing the function of her left hand - leaving her unable to work. Husband Thomas, also 47, tried to keep his job as a bin lorry driver but was forced to give it up to care for his wife’s complex health needs, which include terrifying seizures.
