Season 2 - Episode 14

This weeks episode is all about Stroke's a subject we have yet to cover.

What is a stroke, In medicine, a loss of blood flow to part of the brain, which damages brain tissue. Strokes can be caused by blood clots and broken blood vessels in the brain but in todays case it was a Subarachnoid hemorrhage that was the cause. 

Today's special guest Lesley Atherton tells us her story and her road to recovery in remarkable time purely to her grit and determination and with the support of her professional team family and friends not forgetting her dogs.

A subarachnoid hemorrhage is bleeding in the space between your brain and the membrane that covers it. Most often, it occurs when a weak area in a blood vessel (aneurysm) on the surface of the brain bursts and leaks. The blood then builds up around the brain and inside the skull.

We are so blessed with our guests and today is no exception, Lesley tells us her story from the moment she realised something was wrong right through her treatment, rehabilitation and to present days.

She explains what drove her to her recovery, where she found inspiration and what she had to do to get back up on her feet and start living live again after a Stroke.

How to identify a stroke

The FAST acronym (Face, Arms, Speech, Time) is a test to quickly identify if someone is having a stroke.

  • Face weakness: Can the person smile? Has their mouth or eye drooped?
  • Arm weakness: Can the person raise both arms?
  • Speech problems: Can the person speak clearly and understand what you say?
  • Time to call 999: if you see any of these signs.

Thank you all once again for listening and we thank Lesley for joining us today and openly and honestly telling us her remarkable story

The novel details the undoing of Peter Willems, a disreputable, immoral man who, on the run from a scandal in Makassar, finds refuge in a hidden native village, only to betray his benefactors over lust for the tribal chief's daughter.

This novel was adapted for the screen in 1952 by director Carol Reed, featuring Trevor Howard as Willems, Ralph Richardson as Lingard, Robert Morley, and Wendy Hiller. (Summary by Wikipedia)
