| Introduction | Some 25 years ago I read a series sci-fi/fantasy style books by Stephen Donaldson called the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, The Unbeliever. These were the trials and tribulations of a leper who is mysteriously transported to a Middle Earth type world, where he is welcomed as a legendary saviour but is actually a bitter and twisted outcast, struggling to come to terms with his condition, his future and himself. To cut a long story boring, my connection to the books and the character is that on 19th November 2006 at the age of 40 I had a stroke that turned my world on its head. This blog will hopefully tell my tale about my life going forward from that date. |
