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 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. 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) 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. I hope you will be enlightened or inspired by my book. | Hand in Hand by Jane Coupes, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
