Stroke of Luck: Stroke Recovery Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty people recount the experience of stroke from the first awareness that something was wrong through the acute phase, rehabilitation — speech therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy — and the months and years of adjusting to a changed self. The accounts reflect a range of impairments and recoveries, and a range of emotional responses to the altered life that follows.

Who it's for

For stroke survivors at any point in recovery, the partners and family members who support and are changed by that journey, and caregivers looking for the human dimension of a condition that statistics alone cannot convey.
