I’m pretty certain my father had the same condition, although he’s no longer with us, so it’s impossible to be sure. When a brain haemorrhage killed him – without a word of warning – he just dropped down dead where he was stood. But since the advent of the super computer I’m a little less helpful to them. I’d have been more useful, I think, if I’d been born hundreds or even thousands of years ago. I think about what I thought my life might look like – and I’m proud of just how far I’ve come.
