The Stroke Survivor Handbook: A Caregivers Must Have

The author of ‘The Stroke Survivor Handbook’, himself a ‘Young Stroke Survivor’, was inspired to write such a book based on his personal experience. A relatively healthy man, Brian thought he was invincible and lead an active lifestyle until early one morning, when he was awakened by a vice gripping headache. Little did Brian realise that he was about to be shown just how vulnerable the human body can be.
With absolutely no warning and in a flash of lightening, his life was changed forever, when he suffered and survived a near fatal stroke. Brian and his family were entirely unprepared for the nightmare that lay ahead.  
Overcome by woe, the whole family remained at his bedside. Consulting with Doctors, they found themselves overwhelmed by all the medical jargon. It was as though their world had been transmuted into another galaxy where doctors spoke a strange, foreign language.
The fearful, concerned and traumatised family wanted to know what had happened to Brian and whether he would pull through and eventually recover. The documents provided by the hospital were written in the same alienated dialectal and did not shed any light onto what had just happened. Worn out by grief, the family were in no shape or condition to search through endless amounts of books and websites trying to decipher this medical jargon.
The intention of this book is for the newly, unacquainted caregiver and survivor, to have a better understanding as to what to expect when struck by a stroke. When bombarded with corpus amounts of frightening medical terminology, do not fear. Brian has meticulously removed the horrendous task of searching for the medical jargon relating to a stroke, by providing an easy reference to the medical terminology, together with their meanings, for the reader’s benefit.
