The last thing Teresa Holmes could remember when she woke up was walking in the West Yorkshire countryside with Michael, 57, her husband of 34 years, on one of their regular lunchtime rambles. After being airlifted to hospital where she had been unconscious for a week, she awoke to white lights, antiseptic smells and bleeping machines. Michael was nowhere to be seen. Her daughters and the doctors had to tell her that she was now a widow and would be paralysed for life.
