Returning from the Blink of an Eye is an inspirational true story
Seven January 2011 was a day that would change the author, Grant Victoro’s life forever. In the early hours of the morning, He suffered a deadly haemorrhagic stroke in the pons area of his brainstem. The gods must have been on his side that morning. In the blink of an eye, his life changed forever.
Surviving the first forty-eight hours of such a deadly stroke did how ever come with a very high price tag. It left him a hemiplegic, paralysed down the complete left side of his body. He was told, by the doctors and nurses that he needed to come to terms with the fact that he may never walk again. The probability that he would be wheelchair bound for the balance of his now unnatural life was huge. This was something he could not accept and found it very difficult to come to terms with.
With the odds stacked against him, he was determined to prove them all wrong. This is his story of how he won back his independence. His mammoth uphill battle to walk again and all the obstacles he was forced to endure along the way.
At the lowest point in his life, his family and friends abandoned him. Alone, with no support system, he was forced to face the daily challenges that the stroke threw at him on his own. His marriage of fourteen years came crumbling down, when his wife took the kids and moved out. Grant realised the hard way that you only get to truly know people when faced with one of life’s ultimate challenges. After all was said and done, the true colours of those around him suddenly flared up and erupted through the surface like an exploding volcano. Only to break up a once happy family and destroying the lives of everyone involved.
Not only had the stroke stripped him of his once happy life, it had taken him back to being an infant in a man’s body. You will read about the horrendous circumstances he had to endure. Some, you will find very hard to come to terms with!
Read about the willpower he had to recover. The perseverance it took to keep him going when he had lost all hope. Every time he turned a corner, he was faced with yet another obstacle. The book will take you through the trials and tribulations he faced on his epic journey. No matter what life threw at him, he was always able to lift himself up and dust himself off before moving forward again.
All of this was done in the name of learning to walk again. Something most people take for granted.
