Book description
On November 7th 1994 Philip Fairclough fell fifteen feet
from a ladder onto a concrete patio. The impact caused
massive trauma to his head and the subsequent brain damage
he suffered has radically changed his and his family's
lives.
At first unable to dress himself, cross roads on his own
or tell the time, Philip underwent an intensive course
of rehabilitation and occupational therapy, which slowly
restored many of the lost skills that he had once taken
for granted. His account tells of hurdles he faced and
overcame while in residence at a rehabilitation centre,
difficulties of readapting to family life, and finally
the emergence of his new vocation as a writer.
