Pat Preston says she has even insulted her grandchildren [NCJ]
Pat Preston, 65, has sworn in front of her doctor and has even called her grandchildren rude words.
The retired bank customer service advisor, from Gateshead, says that her language is a complete departure from how she used to talk.
She said: "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. I can swear during conversations and a couple of weeks ago my grandchildren were playing up and I called them 'little b*****s'.
"My husband gets annoyed because he's a retired headteacher and gets horrified sometimes at what I say. I can get a little nervous too about what language I might use.
"I was not aware that a stroke could affect someone in this way and change their personality."
Pat was rushed to hospital in January after she struggled to get her words out and lost control of her legs.
She was kept in a stroke unit for more than six weeks.
