Produktbeschreibung
Sometime during 2013, I became aware of my first symptoms. I was diagnosed in March 2015. I rushed to finish the book I was writing since my retirement in March 2011. Under a perceived shortage of time, I decided to self-publish. The book was out by mid-2016. By early 2018, I was getting restless. I started writing again. Naturally, much of what I wrote concerned my experiences with ALS. Having learned how to publish a book, I indulged myself. I have now three more. While reading posts from sufferers of ALS, whether patients or care-givers, I concluded that there might be benefits if I made my writings more accessible. So, I gathered the relevant chapters from the three books, added a preamble and some final notes and went "to press". For a small but very special audience. May some find help. ¿
