Beschreibung
Frolics From a Stroke Tracy was at the start of her law career and at the cusp of life when she got a debilitating brainstem stroke that affected her breathing, swallowing, speech, eyesight, and severely weakened her left and paralyzed her right. She found herself effectively a thinking statue at the age of thirty-five. This is an account of her journey to recovery. As her brain is reset, she finds, so is her life. Like a growing child, she learns the most basic things anew, and more insightfully, the second time around. She sees the world in a different dimension this time?as wheelchair-bound. She discovers what faith means when it is all that is left. In amusing and heart-wrenching anecdotes, Tracy finds that there is a life to be had, even in the cracks.

Über den Autor
Tracy was at the start of her law career and at the cusp of life when she got a debilitating brainstem stroke that affected her speech, eyesight, and ability to breathe and swallow. It also severely weakened her left side and completely paralyzed her right. She found herself, effectively, a thinking statue at the age of thirty-five. This is an account of her journey to recovery. As her brain is reset, she finds, so is her life. Like a growing child, she learns the most basic things anew, and more insightfully, the second time around. She sees the world in a different dimension this time--as wheelchair-bound. She discovers what faith means when it is all that is left. In amusing and heart-wrenching anecdotes, she finds that there is a life to be had, even in the cracks.
