Mono Gerbera

Mono or its natural orange?

It's 13 years since Tom had a small stroke, or TIA as it's termed. We were due to go to my brothers for the Easter holiday. The bags were packed and stood by the door waiting to go in the car. I was brushing my teeth when Charlotte rushed in and said mum come quick dads lying on the floor, I said "I'll just finish my teeth." With it being the first of April and Tom having a tendency to 'man flu' I thought she was joking. Anyway I went downstairs to see him pale, slurring his speech and lying on the floor. I called an ambulance and within 20 minutes of arriving at the hospital they told me he'd had a stroke. Fortunately he was recovering very quickly at this point, but they kept him for 5 days and did various MRI's CT's etc. They found a small clot in his occipital lobe in the back of his head. Apart from a little spot of vision that isn't right in his eyes he's been lucky not to have other effect (DVLA was informed). On the extra photos you can see some scenery from his Warhammer stuff, he made 3 and he's very chuffed with himself.

Incidentally, no one believed me when I phoned them to tell them he'd had a stroke and when I eventually got home, Will said to me, "was that an April fool, mum?"
