What You Must Know About Strokes: How to Recover from a Stroke and Prevent Another Stroke

When at that age, good read up on. Big read an a lot of study.

This is a very helpful book when having to learn about something so scary happening to someone I love so dearly. It helped me understand articles I read on line. Helped me stay calm and focus as I learned more from the doctors.

The author's love of stroke patients and deep personal investment gives this book that special something.A stroke happens unexpectedly. Despite increasing public health awareness, one is never ready to face reality. As one goes through the various stages of grief, they are forced onto an emotional rollercoaster. The road ahead is long, narrow, and convoluted. This is where this book comes in to relieve the anxiety of the unknown and to prepare one for days and years ahead. Life is never going to be what it once was, but there is a beauty in this new life worth preserving and fighting for. This book outlines what a stroke is as well as what to expect from the acute hospital, rehab, coming home, and how to adjust a lifestyle to minimize the risk of having another stroke.I highly recommend it to patients, family members, and healthcare providers.

My husband had a stroke and we did know anything. Easy to understand facts and and takes you step by step through the ordeal. It helped me a lot when talking to the doctors!

This book is not only a perfect resource for anyone wanting to learn more about stroke but also great for hospital stroke coordinators, stroke champions, nurses, patients, care partners, and families. There is so much wonderful (and easy to understand) information to reference. There are even sample menus to help keep people heart and brain healthy! Navigating the healthcare system when a loved one has a stroke is daunting. This book will really empower the reader and help patients and care partners ask questions and help guide them when creating an action plan. Can't say it enough... INCREDIBLE RESOURCE!!
