Description
"Spinal cord strokes are a rarity. Having one at a young age is relatively unheard of. Therefore, the only thing less likely than having a stroke at age twelve is perhaps surviving it. Throughout my recovery, I cataloged my experiences in a series of personal journal entries. In search of closure, I decided to compile the entries into a single document which would eventually become this memoir. Over four years of contemplating sharing my story, I have reached the conclusion that my family, friends, and community should hear my perspective. This is my unapologetic, unsophisticated, completely honest, and sometimes sarcastic story of my stroke and how I'm living now."--Page [4] of cover.
