A TEACHER of over thirty years, who was struck down by a stroke, hopes to take the next steps in her recovery thanks to the determination of her daughter and the generosity of her community.
Wendy Yates, 58, from Ambleside, suffered from a haemorrhagic stroke on August 4 this year, paralysing her left side and affecting her sight and speech.
The Coniston Primary School teacher was rushed to Salford Royal due to the severity of the bleed on her brain, which doctors struggled to stop for 48 hours.
“They were worried she was going to die because they couldn’t get the bleed to stop for 48 hours,” said Alice Boston, Ms Yates’ daughter.
