10 Seconds That Changed My Life

Tells the story from when I awoke on 15 June 2017 morning to my discharge from the fourth hospital some thirteen-months later. It charters my different medical procedures as I went from ward-to-ward, and the highs and lows I felt. It is available on Amazon as an eBook, paperback, hardback and audiobook. The audiobook is narrated by a top BBC Radio Scotland continuity announcer, twice winner of the ‘One Voice Award.’ My name is Iain and I live in the North-east of Scotland. I suffer from Cerebral Palsy. I used elbow crutches/wheelchair for my mobility. I was fiercely independent; lived on my own, loved driving, studying higher education with the Open University and generally enjoying life. My life dramatically changed in June 2017 following a silly accident while getting out of bed. Now I have become severely disabled and am physically unable to do anything for myself and must rely on carers, in the supported housing complex where I live, to do everything for me. I am now in an electric wheelchair all the time. I had to give-up my house as I could no longer live independently, as I need a lot of care, and cannot drive anymore.
