Book Description

February 17, 2005
An indispensable guide for victims of stroke and their caregivers, from the authors of The Diabetic's Total Health and Happiness Book.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, an American suffers a stroke every forty-five seconds. More than 700,000 Americans each year find themselves struggling to recover from this affliction. June Biermann, a former stroke victim herself, and her coauthor-and caregiver -Barbara Toohey offer a sensitive and essential guide for sufferers and those who care for them. The Stroke Book provides readers with:

- analyses of the latest developments in stroke therapy;
- tips for creating a smart nutritional plan post-stroke;
- information on managing complex rehabilitation needs;
- ways stroke victims can reclaim their quality of life following a stroke, and how caregivers can manage their own stress.

With stroke now the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States, Biermann and Toohey's optimistic, user-friendly guide to living well after an attack is a vital tool for recovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Stroke Book, February 24, 2008
By 
Suzanne K. (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Stroke Book (Paperback)
After my father had a stroke, we got little help from doctors and nurses about what to do. They saved him, but we wanted to know more about what to expect. My mother and I found this book a great resource to learn about what happened and what we could look forward to...both negative and positive. It is written by two women, one is the stroke survivor and one is the caregiver. They have first hand experience with great advice about how to care for a stroke survivor. The Stroke Book provides website resources and suggestions on how to cope with inspiring stories that give both the caregiver and stroke survivor hope and encouragement. Definitely a must read in order to be more informed and ready to help your loved one.

This review is from: The Stroke Book (Paperback)
A well written book. Easy for a lay person to understand . I appreciated the suggestions for care givers to help the patient without being an enabler. It helped me and other caregivers who look after my husband do a better job.
