Product Description

Product Description
"Stroke is the third biggest cause of death, and the major cause of serious disability in the UK" according to The Stroke Association. Huw Watkin's wife suffered a brainstem stroke in May 2003. For the next six months, he found himself on an emotional roller-coaster as he looked after her, and learnt to look after himself at the same time. He had to deal with the medical professionals, liaise with family and friends, and grasp a whole raft of new skills and concepts. This is his story, together with his advice in hindsight to help other carers of stroke patients - a group for whom very little is written.

About the Author
Huw Watkins is the nom-de-plume of an academic who has written widely on special education and educational psychology. He's also published short stories and a crime novel. Since writing 'At a Stroke' he's returned to his hill-walking interests, particularly in Scotland and North Wales, though these expeditions have to be fitted in between crab-fishing visits from his many grandchildren.
