Overview

I Am on My Way to Healing: Two Strokes and a Recovery shares an author's journey along the path from two strokes toward healing and recovery and a renewed sense of hope. With resolve and determination, Robert P. Parker, a retired professor of English Education who had adapted to an array of vocations, tells how he faced a changed life in the wake of those strokes.

After sketching his background, the author tells about his first stroke, what he felt and thought in the midst of the experience, and how his loved ones reacted to the news. Even amidst that life-changing event, he found, especially with the support of Jo, his wife, the courage to live in hope of healing. As he noted, "One day I knew I would be fine again, though it would be a long, long way from the beginning to the 'end.'"

I Am on My Way to Healing: Two Strokes and a Recovery will inspire and encourage anyone who has undergone the life-altering experience of a stroke-or any other extreme change in health. It shares the honest and personal reflections of a man who lived through two strokes and who now makes the title's affirmation: "I am on my way to healing!" Whether you have had a stroke, or someone you love and care for did, I Am on My Way to Healing will embolden your hope and your determination to live, looking forward to the day for celebrating a recovery.
