Peter was an active individual, involved in coaching kids’ sports, swimming, playing guitar, tennis, golf and fastball from his 20’s until the day of his stroke.
A true motivator, Peter managed the people in his departments and call centres for about 25 years, encouraging them to be accountable, honest and capable of delivering the best customer service. This was sometimes a difficult trait to deliver even in some of Canada’s best call centres.
The author experienced the first of two strokes on February 17, 2003 at the age of 49, a few years too early for this busy lead guitarist and father and step-father of three boys. This, his first book, is based on his life, the fun he had during his youth, and the wonderful friends, health professionals and caregivers he met along his path, including his ordeal and near encounter with death.
Peter has always wanted to write some form of book since he was 13, he recalls, and has since become intrigued with writing about his experiences with his stroke and recovery efforts as a means of therapeutic self-healing considering his brain attack and the subsequent brain damage he encountered throughout his nightmare. Having always enjoyed editing and exercising his grammar and spelling prowess, he and his wife have assembled this chronology of Peter’s life and medical crisis in an attempt to share and provide a sample of hope, encouragement and advice to other stroke survivors.
Peter devotes his time today to working hard in his physiotherapy sessions and constantly studying and learning about possible stroke solutions.view less
