Author, Jeff Kagan wrote a book called Stroke Recovery Stories in which he attempts to help stroke victims and their loved ones make sense of what is happening to them. Some of these stories are sad while others are funny, but all will help the reader on their journey to recovery. If you or a loved one has suffered from a stroke and are feeling depressed and confused, this book will be helpful in making sense of what is going on in the victim's brain.
Jeff Kagan is speaking from experience in his book. He live through a stroke about a decade ago while driving to the beach with his family for a vacation. Suddenly, he felt very tired and confused and asked his wife to drive. At the time he did not know it was a stroke, but later he realized that his life was about to take a drastic turn.
Having a stroke was a life changing experience for Jeff Kagan, as it has been for many others in history. Strokes are different for everyone and this inconsistency can make recovery hard, not only for the victim, but also for the victims loved ones. This was the case for Jeff Kagan who was confused often and could not feel worried which was hard on his wife and kids.
Stroke victims have a lot of questions and concerns that cannot be answered by the technically inclined doctors that are there to treat strokes. Only people who have lived through it can fully understand what is happening in your mind rather than what is happening to your brain. This book is like a personal support group for the victims and the victim’s family that offers emotional and mental support through this tough time.
