Liam Rudd, a 30-year-old Briton, suffered a stroke just a day before starting his dream job in Australia. The incident forced him and his girlfriend to cut their trip short and return to the UK for expensive rehabilitation.
A BRIT who dreamt of moving to Australia for years has had his dreams destroyed after suffering a stroke at 30 in a "cruel" twist of fate.
Mandy says at first the family feared he would be "brain dead on his right-hand side and completely paralysed on the left-hand side" - but his progress has been "extraordinary"."How cruel is that. Apart from doing a degree which is hard and an engineering degree is very hard, he's also been fixing people's"He burns the candle at 100 ends. He spreads himself very thin. I said 'that made you stop didn't it'.
After finding him lying on the bathroom floor she called an ambulance thinking he'd had a concussion. "We arrived and found him on the bathroom floor. He'd had a shower clearly and fainted or hit his head. He was tapping his head and tapping the floor to communicate to us that he'd fallen. However, during the eight-hour op, doctors found a second blood clot that was too "high risk" to operate on immediately.Stella said th experience has been "bleak" adding: "From then he was in a coma. They started to take him off sedation three days later. He slowly came out of the coma and came off all the tubes.
"Staying here full time was the ultimate dream for him, and for us. It's been unfortunate. We hope we can get him well enough to come back out here and continue his dream."A common misconception about stroke is that it mainly affects older people, but a stroke can affect anyone of any age.The charity says strokes in people younger than 60 increased by almost 16 per cent between 2013 and 2023.
