A 70-year-old grandfather who had suffered from reduced sight since the age of two has miraculously regained almost perfect vision after suffering a stroke, he has however also lost the ability to speak French.
A grandfather has described how a massive stroke "miraculously" cured his failing sight, but cost him his ability to speak French. Malcolm Darby, 70, of Oakham, Rutland, had worn glasses since measles damaged his sight at the age of two.

Gaining new skills following a stroke certainly is interesting. Losing his ability to speak French and getting his sight back sounds like a small price to pay. Unless French is the only language you can speak.

Or, maybe he made a pact with the devil. Yep, the devil must really hate the french, lol.
