It was 1983, I was 21 and I was assaulted. I suffered a fractured skull and a brain haemorrhage. It really buggered my life up. The following year I suffered my first tonic-clonic seizure.
Until then I'd been working as a service engineer and enjoying it too. That was that finished. I got my driving licence back in'87 so I started a business - which I lost in 1990. Guess why!!!
Instead of having to be free of epilepsy for two years, it had changed to being free of epilepsy for one year before you got your licence back so I got mine back in February or March '92. Off to work in the building trade for ten years and happy with it.
But the next disaster. In 2002 it was identified that I was suffering from complex partial seizures and I realised that I had been taking them since 1983. That answered the question, "What the hell is going on, what's happening to me???" At least it identifies the mistakes that I make. It identifies the stupidity that you feel by the errors in life that it causes.
So, the last thing that could be done was an operation on my brain. It happened in 2009 but was not successful, leaving me with both tonic-clonic and complex partial seizures. It has also affected my eyesight.
What's left - you tell me without saying "Fuck all."
