4.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone suddenly confronted with a stroke, April 5, 2000

This review is from: After Stroke (Paperback)

The book is easy to read and takes the reader through the various stages of stroke recovery - the pain, the anger, the depression, the frustration, the acceptance and the gradual, very gradual road to recovery. Covering the pertinent and the practical aspects of strokes the book is amazingly written in a light hearted, and even entertaining style, for such a serious subject. It's easy to pick out relevant sections at different stages of recovery. I can highly recommend this book to both stroke sufferers but especially to their nearest and dearest as a way to try to understand and help the sufferer. There is hope - even when, at first, everything appears desperate. Read, enjoy and recover.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for post stroke patients, February 24, 2006

This review is from: After Stroke (Paperback)

I purchased this book for my father who suffered from a stroke. Physically, he recovered rather quick, however mentally he's been suffering from a bit of depression. Most post stroke books he purchased focused on physical recovery and it was difficult for my dad to relate. David Hinds tells his own story and has given my dad a bit of hope for true recovery, that things will resume as they once were but only with time. This book has taught him the value of patience, patience, and more patience. I would definitely recommend this book to stroke victims in need of hope.

I am physical therapist... I love to give this book to stroke survivors!!! Helps them realize that they are not alone in a simple way! And his story is less due to how much money and resources he had at the time of the stroke.... LOVE IT!!!
