BBC Radio Foyle - The Mark Patterson Show, The Derry woman who recovered from a stroke and locked-in syndrome tells her story

The Derry woman who recovered from a stroke and Locked-in Syndrome tells her story.

Derry woman Clodagh McKenna who recovered from a stroke and Locked-in Syndrome tells her story to Anna Curran.

Anna Curran speaks to Clodagh Dunlop who, 8 years ago, was a fit and healthy 35 year old. Her life changed overnight after she suffered a stroke which resulted in Locked in Syndrome. She was completely paralysed and could only communicate through blinking. Clodagh defied the odds and not only did she recover, she returned to her full time job and she's now become ambassador for the Northern Ireland Chest, Heart & Stroke Association. 
Marie-Louise Muir speaks to the staff and pupils of Holy Child Primary School who are having an al fresco art class at the murals in Creggan and Chef Brian McDermott is all summery with the hot weather and bakes a Strawberry Pavlova.
