It is not often I give a titled post to one of the blogs I have commented on, they usually feature in my blog roundup. Today however I read a post on Ellee Seymour's blog, Mick Blogs About His Brain Injury. Now as I survived a massive brain haemorrhage evelen years ago this attracted ny attention.

One of the thinks that blighted stroke survivors chances of recovery then was the negative attitudes encountered among some medical professionals. Not all, just some.

Anyway I was encouraged by more progressive doctors, nurses and therapists to write a memoir of my recovery which has exceeded all expectations.

So for the benefit of anyone who follows my link from Ellee's blog or for my regular readers, some of whom i know will be interested, here is a link to the free online version A Stroke Of Luck The book was published in the USA but the publisher is now defunct and all rights reverted to me. I did get one offer from a UK publisher but they wanted me to remove the humour. I did not want to be associated with a tragedyfest aimed at middle class coffee tables, the best weapon stroke survivors have against self pit and depression is a sense of humour. So look in if you are interested. I will be getting an easy read (large text, more whitespace) online in my own webspace soon and a printable (PDF) version will be available soon.
