After Stroke added 09/30/00
paperback book written in England by David H Hinds, 2000
10.7 million annual survivors of stroke world-wide.
The author made a 100% recovery from two major strokes.
{he is an example of the many people do not get the
hint that they need to change their lifestyle]
Stages of grief which he discusses in the book include alarm, shock, denial, anger, guilt, acceptance, adjustment, sometimes depression, but rarely wellbeing.
Has about 100 short chapters:
Chapter 1 You are never too old to recover from
stroke.
"No two strokes are the same. Suddenly, unexpectedly,
your whole life implodes.'
Chapter 2 Let's cut off the blood supply to the brain
Chapter 3 Caution: brain attack.
Chapter 6 Mini-stroke: THE ULTIMATE WARNING.
"Changing the habits of a lifetime is never easy but it can be a walk in
the park compared to the trauma of a stroke."
"Risk factors don't just add up, they multiply!"
Example: risk increases 7X with high blood pressure, but 28X if a smoker
has high blood pressure.
