Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer’s disease
December 14th, 2007
According to the BBC, Terry Prachett has been diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer’s disease. Apparently this is behind a "phantom stroke" that he had earlier this year. He made the announcement on the website of Paul Kidby, his illustrator.
He said that
"All other things being equal, I expect to meet most current and, as far as possible, future commitments."
"I will, of course, be dead at some future point, as will everybody else. For me, this maybe further off than you think."
He did mention that we should expect more books in the future, so let’s all hope for the best.
Mr Pratchett, we are all thinking of you (and there are many of us), and are as usually looking out for those books to keep flowing – many happy thoughts.
