Girlfriend in a Coma (1998)
“On Friday, October 14, 1978, I was playing football with my high school team, the Sentinel Spartans. It was an away-game at another school, Handsworth, in North Vancouver. Early on in the game I was thrown a pass and as I turned to catch it I couldn't help noticing how clean and blue the sky was, like a freshly squeegeed window. At that point I blacked out. I apparently fumbled the pass and I have no memory of what happened afterward, but I did learn that the coaches canceled the game, which wa...s dumb because we were cleaning up and for all anybody knew, it was probably just a severe relapse of mono from two years earlier.
But between that fumbled pass and a few hours later when I woke up in Lions Gate Hospital, I was diagnosed with leukaemia - cancer of 3the bone marrow and hence the blood. Just three months later I died, on January 14, 1979. It was a lightningspeed progression for this particular disease. Before I died I lost all my hair and my skin turned the color of an unwashed white car.MoreLess
