Grandmother can't stop swearing following stroke... -
A grandmother who once hated the idea of swearing now turns the air blue after a stroke left her unable to control her potty mouth.
Pat Preston, 65, now has a mouth like a sailor following her stroke and has even called her grandchildren ‘little b******s’ when they were playing up.
The grandmother from Gateshead says her new-found profanity laden speech is completely involuntary.
‘Before I had a stroke I would still get annoyed at things but I could control my upset, however now I just can’t help it,’ she said.
The retired bank worker says her swearing particularly irks her husband, as he used to be a head teacher and therefore has an obvious aversion to swearing.
She has introduced a swear box since her stroke last January in an attempt to train her brain, and is also receiving help from psychologists.
Prim pensioner Pat Preston swears like a trooper for the first time in her life after waking from a stroke with a changed personality.nGrandmother Pat, 65, has shocked her husband, Michael, 66, by turning the air blue with a stream of four-letter words in front of her doctor; has sworn in the presence of friends; and has been known to call her grandchildren ¿little b****s¿ since suffering a stroke in January.nIt is a complete departure from the type of language the retired bank customer service adviser would have used in the past and she even has a ¿swear box¿ she adds money to after using inappropriate words.nnPat Preston pictured with Husband Michael Preston.nPat Preston has had a personality change since having a stroke in January.
Pat says she has changed from a woman who once was able to control her mouth to someone who will suddenly announce anything she isn’t happy with in an expletive laden outburst.
She said: ‘If something really annoys me I am not able to keep my thoughts to myself and I’m quite outspoken.
‘If I go into a shop and don’t like how the assistants are reacting to me or even someone else I will say so.’
Despite this, Pat claims she is ’75 per cent’ back to how she was before her stroke, and says she can carry on with life and ‘see the funny side’.
