Recovery, (Paperback)

Lacrecia Hillis underwent brain surgery to alleviate some of her health issues. When she woke up-days later-her whole life had been changed. Lacrecia suffered a stroke while undergoing brain surgery, which led to a coma. Upon waking up, she became unable to walk and had to relearn a lot of basic things, including how to talk. During her recovery, she had to battle depression. She had to deal with the realities of someone who has suffered a major stroke. With her mobility reduced to a bare minimum and her verbal communication abilities needing rehabilitation from the ground up, she has had to learn to rely on others for the most basic of tasks-not an easy feat for a strong, independent mother of three. This book chronicles Lacrecia's thoughts before and after brain surgery, as well as her thoughts while battling depression and dealing with all the challenges of surviving a major stroke-how she deals with inconveniences she has never experienced before, how she has learned to let go of the little things, how she finds the motivation to get better, and how she pulls strength from her family and kids-all on her road to Recovery.
