Product Description

After Stroke: Enhancing Quality of Life brings together an extraordinary selection of advice, practical survivor techniques, information about resources, and personal stories of triumph. It is designed to help those who have experienced a stroke attain the highest quality of life possible, under their new physical restrictions.

Recuperating from a stroke is an arduous process that has only just begun when the survivor is released from the hospital. This book shows anyone interested how to create an effective climate for healing and how to help the survivor realize his/her fullest recovery potential. It offers varied perspectives of everyone involved with a stroke: the patient, the family, and friends as well as the team of specialized physicians, nurses, psychologists, physical therapists, speech pathologists, and diverse therapists.

Through its interesting and varied essays, After Stroke: Enhancing the Quality of Life offers the reader a clearer understanding of the injuries that the body as well as the mind have sustained. This anthology is carefully designed to present enhanced perspectives into all aspects of the healing and recovery processes that follow the personal tragedy of a stroke.

5.0 out of 5 stars Especially helpful and filled with new perspectives., January 11, 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ready To Tell It Again, May 21, 2001
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.
