That morning, I got the train as always. I was a publishing director and was looking forward to embracing a new day of work, as usual. I would always turn to the crossword(纵横填字游戏), but that day it didn't . I'd been doing it for 30-old years, but trying to read this one was like walking through syrup（糖浆）: slow and hard. I thought I must be tired.
I said to my assistant. The colleague contacted my wife, Beth, and she drove me straight to hospital. There, confirmation came that I'd had a stroke in the part of my brain that communication. I was now in a condition that means it's difficult or to receive and produce language. It was the only time I .
I was back at home a week later, and my goal was to get better and work in a couple of months. The way to my language ability was rough. I'd look at simple pictures and try to describe them as my mind round and round in the darkness, looking for words．
As the months passed, it became that I wasn't going to be able to go back to my old job. For 25 years, I had myself as a publisher. I was used to a busy day of meetings. I enjoyed colleagues and the I'd had. I didn’t feel ready to say goodbye to my old self. There were times when I felt incredibly .
In the darkest months, I devoted myself to . I couldn't manage novels or newspapers, I tried reading poetry, and found the shorter lines less overwhelming(势不可挡的). My speech came back, and I learned how to read again, though much more slowly. I also learned the to keep up. I allowed myself to slow down, and started to enjoy it．
, I get rid of my old skin. I grieved(感到悲痛) the past, its passing and its absence, and started to it. Now, 10 years later, I look after my grandson a day a week, and my relationship with my family is deeper than ever. If you'd asked me 15 years ago to the importance of the things in my life I might have said work, but now I'm no longer a high-achieving publisher or someone who reads 10 books a week. I'm a man, and if I read 10 books a year, that’s pretty good.
