5.0 out of 5 stars
Especially helpful and filled with new perspectives.,
By A Customer
This review is from: After Stroke: Enhancing Quality of Life (Paperback)
This is the first (and only, so far) book that gives the perspectives of everyone involved when someone has a debilitating stroke. It is a surprisingly well-organized collection of essays from individual doctors, medical prsonnel, caregivers --through to the stroke patient, himself. Perhaps the best essay is is saved for the end of the book. It is written by the editor, Dr. Wallace Sife. He explains the two sides to healing: medical and spiritual. Nobody had ever written about that, and it is so important that it be addressed. Dr. Sife has given enlightenment and hope to his all his readers. This book is especially helpful for the stroke patient and his loved ones. They are scared, and need this kind of practical explanation, which is put into easily understandable, non-medical terms.

Ready To Tell It Again,
By David D. Allard - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: After Stroke: Enhancing Quality of Life (Paperback)
I wrote this short story, as I am disable, but working. It's been 14 years since the accident, and my life changed forever. Without words to match the feelings, words are the tool's of thought's and believing that I can do it.
