When a harrowing heart attack and cardiac arrest robbed Alan's
brain of vital oxygen, he lost his abilities to read, write, walk,
talk, think, and remember. In a flash, Alan went from being a
successful physics professor to a brain injury survivor fighting to
relearn everything he once knew. So began seven years of intensive
rehabilitation, re-creation, and redefining priorities and goals.
Alan also faced the huge challenge of shaping a new identity and
life. Above all, our book is the story of a marriage that
transforms and triumphs, but is never defeated by catastrophic
illness. In a memoir brimming with information, Janet explores the
mysteries and miracles of their new world from her perspective as
Alan's wife, Interpreter of the World, and rehab partner. Alan
shares his eloquent tour of the shattered and healing universe
inside his brain as few people can. "Professor Cromer Learns to
Read" shows that it is possible for a person with an injured brain
to continue to heal and improve for years with the right treatment.
It is possible for love to thrive and adapt to challenging
circumstances. It is possible to build a life with meaning and
gusto even with a devastating illness. Our process of gracefully
and grudgingly accepting the roles of chronically ill person and
caregiver will resonate with many families. The universality of our
situation transcends diagnosis and age to salute the human spirit.
