- Title:
- Life After Stroke: A book by stroke survivors who have learned to live again
- Description:
- Life after stroke shares the experiences of several people who suffered at least one stroke, and have made recoveries significant enough to record their stories. The book is a combination of written first hand accounts and transcriptions of meetings and oral interviews. Themes range from stroke and stress, the rehabilitation process, rediscovering one’s identity following a crisis, and the importance of community. Life After Stroke is not about providing medical information; instead, it gives “the inside story,” centering the experience of people who have lived through strokes. Their accounts are visceral, moving, and ultimately hopeful; as recoveree Dot fondly recalls of her physical therapist Pippa, “At times I felt she treated me as if I was one of her Australian rugby players, but I thrived on it.”
