SUMMARY

An Indispensable, Sensitive Guide for Stroke Sufferers and those Who Care for Them According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, one American suffers a stroke every forty-five seconds. More than 700,000 Americans each year find themselves struggling to recover from this affliction-and many hundreds of thousands more are there to help them mend. June Biermann, a stroke survivor, and her coauthor-and caregiver-Barbara Toohey, authors of the bestselling Diabetic's Total Health and Happiness Book, offer this essential source for those recovering from a stroke and those providing them with support. The Stroke Book offers readers: * Clear explanations of the science of this often misunderstood condition. * Information on what to expect at the hospital and in rehabilitation. * Analyses of encouraging new developments in stroke therapy, including basic and alternative therapies, and traditional and cutting-edge medications. * Advice on coping with complex rehabilitation needs, including adjustments for nutrition, mobility, and everyday living, and on understanding after-stroke emotional and cognitive changes. * Suggestions for preventing future strokes. * Information on how people recovering from a stroke can reclaim their independence and quality of life-and how caregivers can manage their own stresses and sorrows. * Heartening words on keeping hope alive with patience and fortitude, and the curative power of humor. * Inspiring stories of the stroke and recovery experiences of well-known individuals.Toohey, Barbara is the author of 'Stroke Book A Guide to Life After Stroke for Survivors and Those Who Care For Them', published 2005 under ISBN 9781585423743 and ISBN 1585423742.
