About this Item

Paperback. When Robert Cummer was told he needed open-heart surgery, he did what he'd always done-asked questions, gathered data, and tried to stay in control. Then reality showed up and reminded him that the body doesn't negotiate, recovery doesn't follow a tidy timeline, and life keeps coming whether you're ready or not.Work the Problem is a candid memoir told with blunt honesty, dry humor, and the hard-earned perspective that comes from being knocked flat and getting back up anyway. Cummer doesn't write as a doctor or a guru. He writes as a guy living through it-fear, uncertainty, pain, gratitude, setbacks, and the surreal moments that don't make it into the brochure. The "three-ring circus" isn't a metaphor he picked for style; it's how the experience felt, and how life often feels afterward.This book isn't a checklist, a pep talk, or medical instruction. It's a personal account of a cardiac crisis and the messy return to normal-where "normal" has changed, and so have you. If you've faced a major health event, supported someone who has, or wondered what resilience actually looks like when the stakes are real, you'll recognize yourself in these pages.

Synopsis

When Robert Cummer was told he needed open-heart surgery, he did what he'd always done-asked questions, gathered data, and tried to stay in control. Then reality showed up and reminded him that the body doesn't negotiate, recovery doesn't follow a tidy timeline, and life keeps coming whether you're ready or not.

Work the Problem is a candid memoir told with blunt honesty, dry humor, and the hard-earned perspective that comes from being knocked flat and getting back up anyway. Cummer doesn't write as a doctor or a guru. He writes as a guy living through it-fear, uncertainty, pain, gratitude, setbacks, and the surreal moments that don't make it into the brochure. The "three-ring circus" isn't a metaphor he picked for style; it's how the experience felt, and how life often feels afterward.

This book isn't a checklist, a pep talk, or medical instruction. It's a personal account of a cardiac crisis and the messy return to normal-where "normal" has changed, and so have you.
