Weather the Storm

At the grand old age of 41 Shaw, still playing veterans soccer, suffered a routine hip injury which required invasive surgey for a new hip. Shortly after the operation caused by a post operative blood clot he suffered a massive stroke leaving him with paralysis of the left side, loss of speech and partial blindness. Weather the Storm is Shaw?s account of how he dealt with the devastation of the sudden and unexpected tempest, how he climbed back onto his feet whilst the storm was raging and how he eventually managed to negotiate his way back to normal life via a series of small victories so that he could tell the world that a devastating life event need not be an end to one?s life but merely a punctuation mark.
