my goodness, if this happened to any of us on this site,we would probably go nuts, i know i would.the author lost his ability to read but not how to write.he could not read what he wrote either.
the book is good,filled with many jaw dropping things that happened to him. but it got caught up being repitious towards the end. i would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in strokes or someone in the medical field.
