About this title

Synopsis

"Stroke: Brain Assault" is the story of one woman's experience of an aneurysm stroke. The book chronicles the years following her stroke and provides techniques she used in her recovery. This book is for people who love or work with someone who has suffered a stroke. It is also for people who have the tenacity and desire to affect their own stroke recovery. Frame of mind is very important--focus on the future instead of mourning what's been lost, and make efforts, no matter how small, that bring back independence. "Stroke: Brain Assault" outlines: the components of the brain and nervous system; different types of strokes; and treatment and recovery exercises. The author, Madelina DePaz, worked as a nuclear engineer for General Dynamics Corporation, and has B.S. and M.S. degrees in Civil Engineering, and more recently an M.B.A. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She lives in Virginia Beach, VA, and in southern California.
