Molly, 18, a plymouth/" title="Plymouth" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">Plymouth College student, said: “My mum has always been so fit and healthy – this came as a complete shock to us all. She suffered a dissection of the carotid artery complicated by a clot.”
“Mum underwent an extremely risky operation that saved her life. She is now doing intense physio to regain movement on her left side. Her progress has been incredible and she’s been a real inspiration to everyone.
“We’re all very excited to have her back home after such an emotional few months.”
Her younger sister Lucy, 15, added: “Strokes never crossed our minds as something that could happen to our family. Now we know strokes can strike anyone, at any age.”
