Bread by Glenn Myers
Six years before Covid, I suffered acute respiratory distress and was intubated and spent four weeks in a medically induced coma. It wasn't Covid, but the treatment was similar.
I recovered and after a couple of years was able to swap my wheelchair for an electric bike. The experience made me ask questions. What's really important? What matters? What is a good life?
Several years later, I am in a more restful, purposeful, and fulfilled place than ever before. I've found my daily bread. I think many of us do, eventually, and adversity refines our views.
I put what I learnt in this book.
Myers, Glenn Trevor: - Prize-winning writer Glenn Myers has been a full-time journalist and author nearly all his life. For most of that time he has wanted to write fiction that is funny, quirky, redemptive, original and entertaining. So here it is. 'Paradise' and the follow-up books in the series, 'The Wheels of the World' and 'The Sump of Lost Dreams' are comedies about all the invisible things in our lives--our souls, the spiritual sea in which they swim, the fights they get into and the ways they get rescued. In a curious case of fiction imitating life, after writing comic fiction about experiences of near-death and coma, Glenn's heart stopped in 2011 and had to be rebooted. Then he spent most of May 2013 in a medically-induced coma, hallucinating wildly and often quite entertainingly. It took some weeks to recover a steady grip on what currently passes for reality. He made a full recovery. Brought up in West Yorkshire, Glenn has lived in Los Angeles, Singapore, London and Cote d'Ivoire, but has settled with his wife in Cambridge, UK. They have two grown-up children. Glenn has degrees in physics and theology. Unlike the rest of his family, none of his degrees are from Cambridge University and so he is considered a slow learner. He and his wife are members of their local Anglican church. He enjoys cafes and his hammock.
