Update on Bunny Beston
After his stroke six weeks ago Bunny is still in hospital but is showing signs of improvement. His wife Yvonne has said that the stroke does not appear to have impaired brain function. His speech is back to normal and swallowing is also restored. He still needs physio to restore movement in his left arm and left leg and will now be going to progress to rehab.
