Epilepsy: It’s a Killer, but So What?

About the Book

Gavin Hogarth and his mum had just moved out of their old, horrible house with the stairs to fall down—and life was supposed to be better than ever. But no sooner was Gavin in his new home than he had an epileptic fit and fell to the floor. He heard a loud crack in his foot. Not only had he suffered fractures, there was a break in his foot from walking around on it. The fix required surgery—and he wouldn’t be allowed to walk on his broken foot for some time. Such is life when you have epilepsy, which Hogarth has battled for most of his life—and he shares the ups and downs of living with the condition in this second volume of his life story. Despite the challenges he faces, he maintains his good humor, enjoys vacations, flirts with nurses, laughs with friends, and remains active. But life isn’t all fun: There are also plenty of exercises that involve lots of twisting, turning—and at times pain—to get his foot back into shape. Join the author as he navigates the problems that come with living with epilepsy in the second volume of this inspirational memoir.
