I consider this the second book in your required reading after a stroke. It gives a realistic account and work needed to recover. Most other first person stroke recovery books I hate because of all the chest thumping that I was able to recover thru my hard work. Realistically only 10% mostly fully recover and these people are lucky in the size and area of their stroke.
The first book to read is Stronger After Stroke by Peter Levine.

Dean, I am so impressed that you consider my book "required reading." Thanks a million.
ReplyDeleteI loved it precisely because it wasn't survivor porn and presented a realistic portrayal of stroke recovery.
