Hand in Hand

Picture the scene above a young woman walking in the snow on a weekend jaunt with her husband twenty two month old daughter and carrying her unborn son. A sight to behold however this photograph now makes a grown man feel like crying every time he sees it! <p>Can you imagine having one of the most joyous events and the single most tragic event of your life all happening within a two week period? This is what happened to me in February/March 2001 when I suffered a massive stroke approximately ten days after the birth of my son leaving me with significant injuries including a paralysed left arm and leg. <p>My book covers details of my complicated lengthy and ongoing recovery both physical and psychological and also my difficult journey with my husband daughter and young son fortunately which had a triumphant outcome hence the title of the book! (Hand in Hand) <p>I have attempted to explain exactly what happens when you have a stroke and the assumptions as to why it happened to me rather than the next person. <p>I hope you will be enlightened or inspired by my book.<p>
