Queen guitarist Brian May recovering from health scare
<p>Sir Brian May's wife, Anita Dobson, has given an update on his health, following his minor stroke last September. </p>
<p>The Queen guitarist, revealed that he had lost control over his arm after the minor stroke, with his wife saying that the health scare had reminded her that "life is precious". </p>
<p>“Brian is stable now”, she told <em>The Sun </em>newspaper.</p>
<p>“The start of the year has been up and down. We both had the flu but we took the kids to Lapland, 15 of them," the actress, who has been married to the musician for almost 25 years, added. </p>
<p>She also said that he had "never been happier" since they had moved from London to the countryside. </p>
<p>“To see what it has done to Brian... he loves it. He loves the birds and the animals”, she said.</p>
<p>“He feeds all the birds and the badgers, foxes and pheasants. It’s like running a pub for animals.”</p>
<p>In another social media post, Sir Brian had previously said the health scare had been “a little scary” but praised the “fantastic care” he received from Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey. </p>
<p>At the time he was "grounded" after being advised not to drive, fly or do any activity which would send his heart rate too high.</p>
<p>Sir Brian and his family have since been “spending time at home” and “taking each day as it comes”.</p>
<p>“It makes you realise that at any minute it could be you. You don’t have to necessarily be old, it could be anyone”, Dobson said. </p>
<p>“You think you are fit; you see these people who run marathons and then at a young age they are gone.</p>
<p>“You have to live every day as if it was your last. It’s not easy to do that.</p>
<p>“You forget and think ‘I’ve got another week’ and it’s all booked up.</p>
<p>"You have to be aware that life is precious, and with life changing so fast we are all on a bit of a thin thread, if you like.”</p>
