Terry Pratchett has alzheimer's

On 3rd November, yanceylebeef informed us that Terry Pratchett suffered a minor stroke here.

Well, latest news from Paul Kidby.com says that the stroke was the result of a “rare form of early onset Alzheimer’s” :eek:

But TP is stoic about it and promises a few more books before…well, you know. :frowning:

:frowning:

hopes A CERTAIN SOMEONE is a fan and holds off so there will be more Discworld to read…

Damn it. All my favourite authors are checking out :(. I need to find some new ones…

Very sad news.

It was bad enough losing Douglas Adams too early, now this. :frowning:

Well, that fucking sucks. :frowning:

He’s not dead yet.

But, how awful.

This has seriously bummed me out.

My heart goes out to him and his family.

Bugger indeed.

Alzheimer’s is terrible, so a visit sooner rather than later - but not too soon - should, alas, be welcomed.

DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT.

I hate that fucking disease.

:frowning:

Fuck.

That’s true. I was thinking more of the imminent end than of the intervening stretch of time, but you are definitely right on that.

Squeak :frowning:

That’s SQUEEK! But I agree with your :frowning:

Crap. And I’ve only recently discovered his work, too.

Dammit! I hate that disease, too. I was worried when I heard about the stroke but at least it is possible to recover from a stroke.

SHIT!!!

Not much else to say. :frowning:

This hurts. I get so much pleasure reading his books. I selfishly hope that he can continue writing for some while.

I have Sometimers, it is increasingly becoming Mostimers.

Anyone else notice the title at the top of the kidby.com Pterry letter

An Embuggerment

What a cromulent word.
