Welcome to Litsy!

Thanks for sharing and posting this book @Eggs After listening to two VERY LONG audiobooks, I appreciated this no nonsense memoir. When Judy‘s husband undergoes a routine office procedure for back pain they NEVER considered the risks & complications they could encounter. And that makes for a truly compelling listen. It‘s a story of love, marriage and medical traumas that alter their idyllic existence.

This is a fascinating memoir of a couple, Judy and Henry, who married in the 1960s, have a son and daughter and grandchildren. Henry, now retired, in search of relief from back pain, selects a physiatrist who injects steroids into his lower back. What follows is a nightmare of paralysis, blood clots, hypertension, hypotension, severe pain, digestive problems, headaches, depression, neuropathy, years of rehab, and severe loss of independence. ⬇️

3.5 ⭐️ This memoir as it‘s title suggests is about the author‘s marriage & the medical accident that changed their lives. It‘s about coming to terms with life, learning more about who you are & holding on to what is most dear. The in-depth look into her husband‘s medical event will have you advocating for your loved ones in like circumstances. How do you stay calm or should you stay calm when you have real concerns about the care one receives?
