Ron -
It usually takes me weeks to read a book (too busy
to read - or too tired!) but I finished yours in a few days. It was so compelling. I have no experience with strokes so I didn’t
know much about them. In our family,
heart attacks have taken their toll, but not strokes.
I had no idea they were so common nor that they caused so
many deaths and disabilities. Your personal accounts of the stroke and its repercussions for you and for Pat made
me feel some of the pain and agony, frustration and desperation that you went
through. It was amazing to read of your
recollections when the stroke happened, what you felt and thought. And all the long months of recovery, your
persistence and passionate will to overcome its effects.
I am very glad that your book has received so much praise
and will help the public and the medical profession to understand this disease
and the difficulties involved in treatment and rehabilitation.
After reading, I immediately phoned a friend from my
outdoor club whose husband has recently experienced a stroke. You will be pleased to know that one of the
nursing staff had already told her about it and she had a copy.
Blessings,
Cheryl
