Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Rob is working on renovating his condo when his life is turned upside down. One fateful day, his contractor hears him collapse from the other room. When Rob awakens in the hospital, little does he know, his life-and brain-have changed forever . . . .Leaving La-La Land is the astounding memoir of a man afflicted by a rare brain condition known as encephalopathy. Over the course of his three-month hospital stay, doctors speculate all kinds of hypotheses for what Rob might be dealing with, which shows itself through both psychological and physical symptoms, putting him through a barrage of tests. Meanwhile Rob, who has lost his sense of who or where or when he is, and his abilities to accomplish even the most basic bodily functions, finds himself afloat on a sea of encephalopathic dreams that try desperately to make sense of his new reality.Through these remembered dreams, in which he believes himself to be part of a secretive muay thai tournament or the head of a family and husband to a resentful wife in Japan, Rob's hospital experience is half-revealed to him, while medical staff's scrupulous note-taking helps fill in the blanks.Against all expectations, Rob will eventually find himself able to partially recover from his encephalopathy, regaining a life of relative independence, though he will never be the same. Imaginatively told, at times harrowing, and always profoundly illuminating, Leaving La-La Land is a story of survival and perseverance in the face of incredible odds.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Imagine one moment you are renovating your condo. Next, you are on the floor. Your contractor finds you only because he hears you fall. What if you woke up and your entire identity was gone In Leaving La-La Land: Escape to Reality, the loss is absolute: memory slips away, time dissolves, identity fractures, and even the body refuses to obey. When Rob opens his eyes in a hospital, he doesn't know where he is, who he is, or what's happening to him-and neither do the doctors.Rob becomes the center of a medical mystery. Specialists surround him with theories, tests, and urgent questions, but answers remain elusive. As his body falters, his mind drifts somewhere far stranger.Trapped between consciousness and chaos, Rob is pulled into vivid, surreal worlds that feel more real than reality itself. He is no longer a patient-he is a fighter in a secret Muay Thai tournament, a husband in Japan. These alternate lives are intense and emotional.Eventually diagnosed with a rare and baffling brain condition-encephalopathy- a condition most people have never heard of, fewer have a partial recovery and still fewer can describe it from the inside, like this unique memoir.Meanwhile, nurses and doctors meticulously document his behaviour, piecing together a part of the story Rob cannot tell. Through their notes and his haunting dream fragments, a gripping, surreal, and profoundly human medical memoir evolves. It's unlike any memoir you have read.A rare and powerful memoir told from the patient's perspective, Leaving La-La Land: Escape to Reality guides readers through both the illness and the experience of encephalopathy. Rob's recovery is incomplete, but his transformation is permanent. Gripping, surreal, and deeply human, it explores the fragile boundary between reality and illusion-and asks a haunting question: if you lose your mind, how do you claw your way back.
