Delivery by Sea
This is a book which I have had, ready to publish for a while. It is a biography and focuses on the subject of Epilepsy.
Aged 15 years, at school, and ready to finish my examinations, then start on a career at sea in the Merchant Navy.
This hope was dashed as I suffered a brain haemorrhage which forever changed the course of my life.
The resulting operation left me epileptic and so
'Delivery by Sea' describes a lifetime of coping with this condition. The book details how, I adapted to modifying my life around this condition.
The narrative describes all variants of the condition, the medication I take to prevent seizures, the side effects, how it affected my married life and helping to bring up two children, how they both helped me cope, how my wife coped, and how I managed to maintain a working life in the Marine Trade, whilst still actively participating in my chosen sport of sailing and yacht racing.
My intent, my hope for 'Delivery by Sea' is that it will help dispel much of the stigma which surrounds my condition.
Question: Is anyone interested?
