I had read about the "stroke" a few months back - he has said he just had an off day when he couldn't type and had put it down the tiredness.

With the correct medication this is something which can be managed really well but its still a bit carpy

That is bad but he has a good philosophy about it which is good

Typical of the guy to take it with good grace, despite his fame he always seems to come across as humble and very grounded.

My father pointed out that one of his co-workers has had the same diagnosis. 4 years down the line he still shows no signs of degradation and the prognosis is good for him to last many a year with no real side effects.

Oh no

I'm sure he'll battle on

I wonder if a few characters might get a big send off in the next few books.
Vimes or Carrot seem an obvious choice for a grand and heroic exit.
