1. Although I am a 56, strictly speaking this is my second life, I died once briefly in 2006. Interestingly I experienced the entire ` out of body` and ` after life` experiences that that many in this situation describe.
  2. In 2005 (the early stages of my condition) there was diagnostic confusion. Ultimately I deliberately faked medical symptoms to secure assistance. An MRI scan followed, revealing a brain tumour of 4.5 cms ( a golf ball)
  3. I must be one of the luckiest people alive. Between hospital appointments, I accurately diagnosed (online) a very rare condition that blinds you. Fortunately my GP checked it out very carefully, the diagnosis was correct and surgery saved my sight by about four weeks ( At odds of about a million to 1 against?)
  4. In 2006 there were complications on the operating table, with rising brain compression threatening to kill me. The odds were poor; around 60% per cent of patients in this situation do not survive. About 35% live for a year in a hospital bed; just 5% go home to start again.
  5. Overall it is 14 to 15 operations so far; in truth I lost count. The Brain tumour operations averaged 10-15 hours each, three in five days. My wife had to sign all the forms to allow the last surgery to proceed regardless of damage incurred.

No-one thought I would live.

  1. I lost a facial nerve, a balance nerve, a hearing nerve, 50 lbs body weight, one side of my face collapsed and I was now in a wheelchair.
  2. I was quite possibly the worst hospital patient in the world, often trying to escape, getting involved in shower fights with the nurses and breaking into their gym when no one was looking. One night an off duty nurse found me a mile outside the hospital in a local pub, sitting down to pie and pint ( I was recaptured)
  3. When I returned home from hospital I could walk only 600 yards and so exhausted had to sleep the rest of the day. It took about two years of extended exercises to fix this, but I am much improved. These days a walk of 10 miles is possible and I can run 2 miles or lift weights as required.
  4. Minor brain damage left me with reduced thinking ability, spoken dyslexia and short term memory loss; but five years of extended brain exercises have virtually fixed these issues. My face has been surgically rebuilt; there are 25+ stiches holding my face together with another 75 elsewhere on the body.
  5. I am now an award winning author ( You Can Self Heal - Amazon Kindle B00M2OIGDA) it's about how you "Get Your Life Back" after major trauma; also I speak on issues such as recovery and brain Neuro-plasticity. I will be speaking at a London conference in May this year for the ` Chartered Institute of Personal Development`. My ambition is to win a TED speaking title, so I am seeking speaking opportunities.
