Product Description

My brain, which had just let me down so badly, was perhaps never so active. The paramedics question was a fundamental one. Who are you? Yes indeed. Who am I?

Robert Mc Crum was forty-two when he suffered a massive stroke which left one side of his body totally paralysed, his speech drastically impaired, & his sense of himself radically altered. What followed was a prolonged period of recovery, full of heart ache & frustration, as he gradually regained sensation, movement & self-esteem & as his family pulled together in the extraordinary effort necessary to make him well again.

My Year Off is a moving story of determination, courage & love that sings with wit & honesty. An invaluable insight into the reality of life after stroke, the moments of hope, the anger & despair, this is a touching classic that gives voice to millions.
