Can there be life after a brainstem stroke? After Dr. Shawn Jennings, a busy family physician, suffered a brainstem stroke on May 13, 1999, he woke from a coma locked inside his body, aware and alert but unable to communicate or move. Once he regained limited movement in his left arm, he began typing his story, using one hand and a lot of patience. With unexpected humour and tender honesty, Shawn shares his experiences in his struggle for recovery and acceptance of his life after the stroke. He affirms that even without achieving a full recovery life is still worth it.Author: Shawn JenningsPublisher: Dundurn PressPublished: 01/28/2020Pages: 288Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.70lbsSize: 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.60dISBN: 9781459745995About the AuthorShawn Jennings was a family physician in Saint John, New Brunswick, for twenty years until his brainstem stroke in 1999.
