Mister Bump

My "bump" was in 2016 when, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)

Author: Mister Bump UK

In 2016, I suffered a stroke, a pivotal moment in life. Overnight, I went from being a fit, avid cyclist, who designed IT systems in both London and New York, to being semi-paralysed and barely able to walk. Needing to re-invent myself, I learned to type again, one-fingered, and taught myself to write, creatively. I'm working on my second novel, and tinker with my blog on the side. I live peacefully in a small, rural corner of southern England, happily divorced with a grown / flown daughter.

I'm a stroke survivor. I type one-handed and although I try to correct them, you will find typos here. You'll learn more as you read.
