Rachel Hardy was told she needed to get to hospital but she felt too unwell to drive
Rachel Hardy used to love nothing more than going to the gym and enjoying city life with her friends. But her life was turned upside down at the age of 27, when she suffered a terrifying illness.
Rachel was told she needed to find her own way to hospital – but she could barely see. She flagged a passing car down and explained her situation. The kind stranger drove Rachel, who was unable to walk by that point, all the way to Stepping Hill Hospital. Rachel’s mobility returned extremely quickly – so much so that doctors were happy to allow her to return home with her mum.
Rachel says she has also found it hard to process what happened to her and now struggles with poor mental health. Currently unable to return to work, Rachel is determined to push her recovery further. She is also waiting to have surgery again to reattach her skull following the initial life-saving operation, which she hopes will drastically alleviate the severe nerve pain she currently lives with.
“Stroke in young people needs to be spoken about much more widely. For me, it felt like there was a stigma around it because I was so worried about people judging me. That is something that was, and sometimes still is, very frustrating.”
