Following some employment in Northern Ireland circumstances favoured resuming academic life in Canada and I eventually came to the University of Toronto in 1984.Unfortunately I soon began to feel unwell and after extensive tests a brain tumour was detected.Surgery would be very risky but the tumour would have been fatal anyway so there was no choice.
The operation was a success but it resulted in extensive paralysis on the left side.
Fortunately my wife is employed by a major Canadian bank so we have still been able to live well in arguably the best part of Toronto.
I have recently acquired a power wheelchair which enhances my mobility and employment options.view less
