Book Synopsis Caring For a Loved One with Aphasia After Stroke by : Jennifer L. Mozeiko
Download or read book Caring For a Loved One with Aphasia After Stroke written by Jennifer L. Mozeiko and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This voice-driven, narrative, non-fiction book relays the stories of seven courageous women whose lives have been greatly impacted by a loved one’s stroke, resulting in loss of language ability to one degree or another. Aphasia leads to varying degrees of problems in speaking, understanding, reading, writing, gesturing, and using numbers. Aphasia can be extremely stressful for both the individual who had the stroke and for their family and friends. Speech is such a significant part of human interaction, and it’s something that most people take for granted. It’s hard to be able to communicate if you’ve been dependent upon verbal communication and yours is suddenly impaired. Fortunately, some recovery from aphasia is possible, and there are still ways to effectively communicate, even with aphasia. The stories contained in the book are intended to help others feel less alone as they navigate their loss and the confusing healthcare system. The stories are told from the advent of a stroke of their loved-ones and describe how these caretakers persevered to find quality medical services and to provide home care. Caring For a Loved One with Aphasia After Stroke is written for people who are going through a similar crisis, or for those in the medical and/or speech/language field who are interested to learn more about perseverance and hope that are critical to aphasia.
Download or read book Love Stroke written by Kelly Marsh and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At thirty-six years old, Kelly Marsh was a successful businesswoman with roles at the Cincinnati Museum Center and, most recently, chief marketing officer at Thomas More College. Her husband, thirty-nine-year-old Brad Marsh, was a successful entrepreneur and businessman. In Love Stroke, they tell their story after Kelly suffered a stroke August 30, 2009. This memoir narrates the firsthand, chronological views from both the survivor and the primary caregiver, including their life before, the day everything changed, and the first two years of recovery. Kelly and Brad share personal trial-and-error insights from their journey, and they challenge some conventional medical wisdom about what is possible. They also give advice to friends and family on the best way to support their loved one and each other, and they offer useful lessons and resources. Practical and inspirational, the Marshes' story is intended to assist all traumatic brain injury survivors and caregivers, but particularly younger survivors and caregivers as they shape their own destinies in recovery. This book, written by both a young stroke survivor and her husband/caregiver (the roles are not separate), is filled with some great advice for stroke survivors and their loved ones. Despite having taken a full history of Kelly's stroke, and seeing her in clinic on many occasions, I still did not know many parts of her story, and certainly did not know her inner thoughts and emotions. I was fascinated to hear the details from both perspectives, but especially from Kelly and in her own words. Brett M. Kissela, MD, MS, Albert Barnes Voorheis professor and chair, Department of Neurology and Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Cincinnati

He mourned the loss of what could have been —and he was angry. How his family would have loved to sit down with top experts in stroke to find out what they should be doing and have their questions answered. Now Dr. Mike has the ability to do just that, and he’s doing it so that others in his family’s position don’t have the same struggle. Armed with questions from stroke survivors and their loved ones, Dr. Mike talks with the best clinicians across the country to get over 100 answers you need to know to maximize your recovery.

It derives from a particularly interesting database, since it deals with aphasia in aphasic people's own language...It is strongly recommended.'' Professor Audrey Holland, Department of Speech Pathology, University of Arizona, USA This book is about living with aphasia - a language impairment which can result from stroke.

They describe the impact of aphasia upon their employment, education, leisure activities, finances, personal relationships and identity. They describe their changing needs and how well these have been met by health, social care and other services.

Book excerpt: An Incredible Journey of Determination and Recovery In 2005, Ted W. Baxter was at the top of his game. He was a successful, globe-trotting businessman with a resume that would impress the best of the best. In peak physical condition, Ted worked out nearly every day of the week. And then, on April 21, 2005, all that came to an end. He had a massive ischemic stroke. Doctors feared he wouldn’t make it, or if he did make it, he would be in a vegetative state in a hospital bed for the rest of his life. But miraculously, that’s not what happened . . . In Relentless, Ted W. Baxter describes his remarkable recovery. Not only did he live, but he's walking and talking again. He moves through life almost as easily as he did before the stroke; only now, his life is better. He’s learned that having a successful career is maybe not the most important thing. He’s learned to appreciate life more. He's learned that he wants to help people—and that’s what he does. He gives back, volunteering his time and effort to help other stroke victims. Relentless is a wonderful resource for stroke survivors, caregivers, and their loved ones, but it is also an inspiring and motivating read for anyone who is facing struggles in their own life.
Book Synopsis My Stroke by : Donald F. Weinstein Ph D
Download or read book My Stroke written by Donald F. Weinstein Ph D and published by Donald Weinstein. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers of My Stroke by Dr. Weinstein will follow, step by step, his recovery from an Embolic Cerebrovascular Accident with Severe Aphasia. After his Stroke, he couldn't speak, read, write, sing or do arithmetic. This book takes a look at what goes into the spirit and soul of one stroke aphasia victim and survivor, the nuances that are not spoken about in cursory workshops and never detailed in lectures; a difficult journey with emotional highs and lows, anger and fear, issues of dignity and humiliation. He discusses shifting roles within the family, neuropsychological reports with throbbing pain and accomplishments. He details struggles to relearn reading, writing, speaking, singing, mathematics, interview skill strategies. He lets you feel the accomplishments of achieving a sound, a letter, a word, a simple sentence, and compensatory strategies, which are huge for a person with severe aphasia. Fifteen months later he was able to read a classic novel, very slowly, a solitary action, word by word, reading aloud slowly very slowly. He wrote a professional report, tediously, at a snail's pace, finding computer keys one letter at a time, trying to write a sentence, a paragraph and finally a page. He shares the emotions of singing at a Passover Seder, the melodies in his genes, but not easily retrieved from his brain. Hebrew words that were lost in his head do to his aphasia, but the brain has the incredible capability to modify itself, to form new connections between brain neurons and find what was lost. He found some of his fluency with Spanish on a vacation trip to Puerto Rico. Yet he was not "whole' but he continues to grow each day. Dr. Weinstein's forceful journey back from severe aphasia was moving. His accounts wrestle with discussions that every graduate school aphasia class needs to read and thrash out, knowing that the effects of aphasia vary from person to person. Even speech therapists will gain insight into what it is like to live with aphasia on a daily basis. He writes in depth about his experience with speech therapy and the exercises which helped him. Aphasiacs and their caregivers will share the difficult road back as they go from aphasia victim to aphasia survivor. Each chapter provides a check list for stroke survivors, and their spouses, family and friends, to help them deal more effectively with the consequences of stroke and aphasia. Weinstein's grasp of himself and others are very powerful and send a message of hope; he discovered how to live with aphasia. His "come back" from severe aphasia was dependent on himself, his drive, effort, ability and hard work to persevere over frustration and also the love and devotion of his family, the guidance and support of his speech-language pathologist and all the staff at the rehabilitation center, other doctors and nurses and the cheering from the sidelines of special friends; in other words, his community, each with unique qualities that Weinstein needed and required. But neither Weinstein nor the wonderful cast of characters, the protagonists, of Weinstein's story, knew what their roles were precisely other then caring. These caregivers, Weinstein's wife, son and daughter-in-law, and granddaughters, professionals, family and friends are seen in the vignettes that are integrated through this book; if you look closely you might see yourself in your mind's eye. There are streams of consciousness and free flow thoughts wrapped throughout each chapter. These allow you, the stroke victim and the spouse, to see the way that real life intermixes with both of you. The idea is that you may see something that is important to you that you didn't think about before and it may help you. The watchwords for this book are "frank," "inspirational" and "hope"; these are the unspoken words of many aphasiacs some who are not able to talk and express their thoughts. Dr. Weinstein talks for them.
Book Synopsis Just Before The Stroke of Seven by : Aaron Lloyd Ainbinder
Download or read book Just Before The Stroke of Seven written by Aaron Lloyd Ainbinder and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the time it takes for a blood clot to travel from my Mom's heart to her brain, my Mom's life changed and so did mine. For 5+ years I was the solo full-time caregiver for her, doing all that I could to allow my Mother to remain in her own home for as long as possible while still helping her, as much as possible, to live a life of purpose and meaning.Other caregiving books tell of having a caregiving team, so that the primary caregiver does not get overwhelmed and burn out. In our case, such a team never materialized. This book is the story of the journey of one man, providing care for his Mother, starting with a stroke she had which brought about Wernicke's aphasia, and which ended on the Dementia Trail.You will read an account of 5+ years of duty, years which were a labor of love. I wrote this book with raw honesty about the triumphs, the tenderness and the wretched failures which I encountered as a solo full-time caregiver. It is my hope and prayer that what I have written is helpful to at least one other caregiver who is in a situation which is similar to what ours was.
