An invaluable resource for anyone touched by spinal cord
injury-newly injured patients, longtime survivors, friends and
loved ones, and medical professionals-"A Complete Plain English
Guide to Living with an Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury" offers a
survivor's perspective on the physical and emotional journey from
the time of injury, through the entire recovery process, and on to
living a full and happy life. This thorough, down-to-earth manual
delivers solid, factual information and real-world advice from
someone who has been there. Carolyn Boyles, a long-term spinal cord
injury survivor, translates medical jargon into plain English, and
helps you understand everything you need to know about living and
thriving with an injured spinal cord. Boyles' handbook covers
surgeries and complications, treatment and rehabilitation, working
with medical professionals, dealing with family and friends,
understanding your unique injury, prognosis and life expectancy,
maintaining hope and faith, working through emotional baggage
(including the many forms of survivor guilt), what to expect
physically, and how to rebuild a quality life. She candidly answers
all the questions nobody wants to ask, and she even includes
statistics, ideas for additional reading and movies, resources, and
more. But most importantly, she shows you that a spinal cord injury
is not a life-ending event, but rather a new beginning.
