"Carrie Dearborn's no-holds-barred approach to talking about disability wrestles us to the ground from her wheelchair. Surprising, disarming, painful, funny - you'll go through every emotion and reach new understanding as you let go of pre-conceived notions about how to deal with disability, whether you are temporarily abled or not." - Meizhu Lui, Co-Author, The Color of Wealth "Interspersed between the author's accounts of surviving a life-threatening stroke, readers will find useful practical advice for coping with adult onset disability and, more importantly, life outside of the hospital. This book offers sound, practical advice grounded in years of experience from a woman with a terrific sense of humor. The writing is deep enough to be engaging but written in sections brief enough to allow the reader to digest and reflect upon the important concepts presented. While the author claims to have written this book for people who are recovering from similar injuries to her own, their families, and loved ones, I believe it is equally beneficial for health care professionals. Carrie provides important recommendations about interacting with people who are emerging from comas that will help health care professionals understand what is and what is not helpful to their patients. In turn, learning how to provide more sensitive care will reward care providers with that wonderful feeling associated with knowing they have made valuable contributions to someone's health and healing." - Susan Hallenborg Ventura, Director of Clinical Education & Associate Clinical Professor at Northeastern University Topics covered include: Fresh Out of a Coma For Friends and Family Possibilities: Aim High, Start Slow Post-Coma Nightmares and Fresh Losses A Rainbow for the Blues: Why I Like Wheelchairs God's Windows Explained: Dealing with Feelings of Gloom and Doom OK, Feel Good Time: Heroes and Sheroes to Inspire Us Calling All Vegetables: Surpassing Low Expectations Life Threatening Disease Issues A Burden?: Getting Out of the Guilt and Burden Trap How to Almost Die: and Why You Should Stay Alive How to Have Fun in the Hospital Miscellaneous Things Hospital Food: Avoidance Tips How it (Usually) Works: Who's Who in the Hospital Patient's Bill of Rights - My Version What to Anticipate: Small Joys Brain Damage: Journal of my first post-coma year Disability 101: Where to go for Housing, Work and Benefits A Little Street Action Before you go: From Bedsores to Bumpy Roads Survival Tactics You're out Getting Around and other Post-Hospital Challenges State House Nursing Home: Taking Political Action or Making Trouble in My Adopted Home Town Wheelchair Flying: My Favorite Sport The Questions: Q&A with the Author Bibliography Resources

Why on earth would anyone title their book "Stick it In Your Ear" anyway? There are three reasons why: Often times when people are confronted about their hearing problem, they will push back, and maybe even tell you to 'stick in your ear'. The irony is that if they would stick it in their ear, that is a precision amplifier (hearing aid), they could improve their life, and the lives of those who communicate with them. The third reason is revealed at the end of the book.

Our dream is to create a devotional book that could be used as a tool for those with developmental challenges as well as extraordinary abilities.

On the outside, John Parrish is a highly successful doctor, having risen to the top of his field as department head at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. Inside, however, he was so tortured by the memories of his tour of duty as a marine battlefield doctor in Vietnam that he was unable to live a normal life. In "Autopsy of War," the author delivers an unflinching narrative chronicling his four-decade battle with the unseen enemy in his own mind as he struggled with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Parrish examines his Southern Baptist childhood and the profound influence of his father, a fire and brimstone preacher turned Navy chaplain, while offering a candid assessment of the "God and Country" ethos that leads young men to rush wide-eyed into war. He describes the unimaginable carnage and acts of cruelty he witnessed in Vietnam, experiences that shattered his world view leaving him to retreat from his family upon his return stateside. Living virtually homeless at times, he visited veteran shelters and relived the horrors of war in a series of harrowing flashbacks as he dealt with suicidal thoughts. The author writes honestly and probingly of his episodes of infidelity and battles with sex addiction. Readers follow his steady journey toward recovery and his professional contributions in the field of medicine and technology, as well as a joint program with the Boston Red Sox and Massachusetts General Hospital to aid returning veterans. Perhaps most poignantly, Parrish speaks of his quest to discover the identity of one particular solider in Vietnam he could not save--and whose memory has haunted him ever since.

"Autopsy of War" is a soul searching memoir that is both an intensely personal narrative and a universally relevant trip through the world of war and recovery.

A book every Meniere sufferer, their family, friends and partners should read to fully understand how having a long-term chronic condition, like Meniere's disease, can and will affect all your lives. And how you can help prevent this. Keeping life positive in a time of Meniere's. This self-help book may help you keep chaos out of other parts of your personal life. When you can do this, the negative effect of suffering from a long-term condition, shifts to a positive one as you have less stress and anxiety in your everyday life and more personal energy to deal and cope with the disease itself.

The struggle to survive in today's noisy classrooms is real. The child's poor performance often leads authorities to apply undue pressure on him, frequently concluding that he is lazy or of low intelligence, which is certainly not the case. The child's brain is a complex storage and retrieval organ, which mandates that information be properly received, stored, and organized in order to be retrieved for proper use. The child who processes information normally in the classroom is constantly assigning meaning to what is being said in the classroom. The brain is capable of performing these functions in millisecond as long as there is a built-in attention filtering device that assists him in processing relevant information and filtering out or eliminating that which is not. The child who has processing difficulties is not equipped with the excellent filtering capabilities of the normal processing child. His primary difficulty is that of learning through a defective auditory (hearing) channel. Unlike the normal listener, he cannot make maximum use of what he hears for academic purposes even though his hearing is normal. Something seems to intercept the information between what he hears with the normal ear and its decoding by the brain. He allows in both relevant and irrelevant information all at once. Because of poor storage and retrieval capabilities as well, this results in inadequate receptive expressive and integrative functioning on the part of the child. You may often hear him say to the teacher, "I forget." "What did you say?" "Would you repeat that?" "I don't understand" The Listening Child explains in layman's terms what teaches and what parents need to know out this child's difficulty.

Seeing Ezra is the soulful, beautifully written memoir of a mother's fierce love for her autistic son, and a poignant examination of what it means to be normal. When Kerry Cohen's son Ezra turns one, a babysitter suggests he may be different, setting her family on a path in which autism dominates their world. As he becomes a toddler and they navigate the often rigid and prescriptive world of therapy, Cohen is unsettled by the evaluations they undergo: At home, Ezra is playfully expressive, sharing profound, touching moments of connection and intimacy with his mother and other family members, but in therapy he is pathologized, prodded to behave in ways that undermine his unique expression of autism. It soon becomes clear that more is at stake than just Ezra's well-being; Cohen and her marriage are suffering as well. Ezra's differentness, and the strain of pursuing varied therapies, takes a toll on the family--Cohen's husband grows depressed and she pursues an affair--all as she tries to help others recognize and embrace Ezra's uniqueness rather than force him to behave outside his comfort level. It isn't until they abandon the expected, prescriptive notions about love, marriage, and individuality that they are able to come back together as two parents who fiercely love their little boy. Powerful and eye-opening, Seeing Ezra is an inspirational chronicle of a mother's struggle to protect her son from a system that seeks to compartmentalize and fix him, and of her journey toward accepting and valuing him for who he is--just as he is.

Did you know that exercising improperly can slowly destroy your health? Did you know that joint stiffness and muscle aches are not an inevitable part of aging? Did you know that most surgeries to relieve chronic musculoskeletal pain are performed unnecessarily because the pain is not caused by a herniated disc, torn cartilage, or other abnormality that may be seen on MRI but by an unrecognized chronic contraction of muscle? Did you know that there is a scientifically-based way to restore the health and vitality of your muscles to the athleticism of your youth? This book reveals the hidden truths about muscle and the ubiquitous phenomenon of hypertonic spasm--a silently growing, permanent contraction of muscle that affects all of us to some degree and slowly erodes the health and vitality of our muscles without our being aware of it until we begin to experience symptoms that are almost always misattributed to aging or an abnormality of the spine or joints. In this life-changing book, you will discover how hypertonic spasm develops, how it causes symptoms, and, if you are already suffering from it's ill effects, what to do to get out of pain and stay out of pain without the need of drugs, injections, or surgery. We're talking about truths that are destined to revolutionize orthopedic medicine, physical rehabilitation, and the fitness world So if you want to preserve the vitality of your muscles and get the most out of them; or, conversely, if you have ever thrown out your back, developed chronic pain in a joint, or experienced frightening symptoms like numbness, tingling, or pain down an arm or leg, this book is for you
