| 620840 | 2007-12-13 07:03:00 | This may not mean much to many of you but I have just read the sad news that Terry Pratchet has Alzheimer's disease. Still thinks he has time for a couple more books | Dally (6292) | ||

| 620845 | 2007-12-13 07:11:00 | In August 2007, he was diagnosed as having had a minor stroke in 2004 or 2005. This damaged the right side of his brain, and while affecting motor skills, has not affected his writing.In December 2007, he posted that the cause of the "phantom 'stroke'" was a "a very rare form of early onset Alzheimer's". However, he plans to remain optimistic and to continue writing. (wiki) I love his books, its sad to see him be diagnosed with that. |
