Love letters helped a newly married couple stay in touch when a man s stroke on the operating table led to him staying at Northwick Park Hospital for six months.
Matthew Stamper, who lives in Billericay, Essex, suffered a stroke during an operation to remove a brain tumour.
He was subsequently transferred to the Regional Hyperacute Rehabilitation Unit at the Watford Road hospital - a three hour round trip for wife Alice from their home.
There he remained for the next six months.
