Kurzbeschreibung

"A true story of triumph over tragedy, this book is a must-have guide for anyone affected by stroke." -William S. Maxfield "Valerie Greene's courage, persistence, and willingness to search for the healing energies within her have shifted her body, mind, and spirit. Her story is an inspiration to all." -Donna Eden Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States today and the leading cause of adult disability. Now Valerie Greene, a stroke survivor whose recovery surpassed even the most optimistic expectations, uses her own dramatic, inspiring, and eye-opening story to illustrate and deliver the important practical information you and your loved ones need to prevent, recognize, minimize, and recover from stroke.

Synopsis

A stroke survivor and American Heart Association spokesperson shares her story and cutting-edge medical advice on stroke prevention and treatment. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States today and the leading cause of adult disability. This practical and inspiring book combines solid prescriptive advice on stroke from top medical experts in the field with the author's own uplifting story of recovery from the stroke she suffered at age 31, which paralyzed the left side of her body and left her unable to speak.Now 90 per cent recovered, she proves that the so-called 'silent killer' doesn't have to silence or kill, a strong message for those at risk of stroke as well as stroke patients and their caregivers. She gives readers the latest information on stroke screening and treatment, including six-month warning signs, the ten-minute diagnosis, and clot-busters. Valerie Greene (Winter Park, FL) is an internationally recognized spokesperson for the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association for stroke awareness. She is a speaker at special events and conferences, and has appeared on NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox.

Conquering Stroke: How I Fought My Way Back and How You Can Too 22. Mai 2008
Von Nancy R. Johnson - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As a stroke survivor myself, I am thrilled with this very informative, inspirational, moving account of Valerie Greene's journey. What an incredible amount of work and heart have gone into this long awaited account of her triumphs over a catastrophic event in her very young years and what maturity and obvious study and hard work have gone into her writing of this book. The information supplied at the end of each chapter is invaluable! I've read a lot since having my stroke in July of 2000, but never has so much been provided in one account. I highly recommend this for any and all people who have in any way been touched by a stroke and for the caregivers who are the heart of encouraging the survivors as they continue along their journey with new and different goals, yet hope for a bright tomorrow!

At Last! Both stroke prevention AND caregiving advice, as well as ways to increase recovery! 13. Mai 2008
Von C. M. Sholander - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is both inspirational and confrontational! Greene's story graphically records the onset of her stroke and how she wrestled with the effects of stroke during the early days -- but then takes us along on her uphill battle and ultimate recovery from one of the most severe forms of stroke. She went from defeat to triumph and gives details as to how we all can do it, too. I also appreciated, as a caregiver, the way she confronted the issues that concern us who must fend for those who are yet recovering. A must read for everyone, because this illness is a plague on our culture.

A Realistic Account of the Effects of Stroke 4. August 2008
Von coalpuss - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As the caregiver for my husband who suffered an AVM (arteriovenus malformation) 23 years ago, I wish I'd had this book then. Looking back, I did a good job of monitoring his doctors, nurses and aftercare. What I did NOT do was take care of myself. Valerie has written a terrific account of her medical trauma, which brings the reader right in the room/bed with her. You feel her helplessness, her frustration, her fury. We all encounter those in the medical community who make assumptions rather than medical assessments, either due to patient overload or malaise. Regardless, I recommend this book to virtually everyone. Everyone either has had or will have a medical emergency in their life and this is is a primer on how to take care of yourself when that happens. You may not have a family member near to look out for you and will have to fight for yourself. Buy this book. Valerie makes it easy to read and puts all the technical information in the bibliography for your reference. She is a hero!
