Book Release: Your Mother Has Suffered a Slight Stroke by: Kathy Bosworth
This is a personal story about the difficulties faced by family members when a loved one is affected by a stroke. It is peppered with information the author acquired along her journey.
(PRWEB) April 22, 2004 -- Kathy's mother suffered a stroke during a routine
medical procedure. Although it was thought the stroke was slight, the original
diagnosis was wrong; it was massive. She was frustrated in her search for
answers regarding stroke prognosis, patient's rights, living wills, long-term
nursing care and the financial realities. She decided to write the book that she
was looking for and could not find. It is written for other baby boomers. As
this large segment of the population ages, they face the difficult task of
caring for their elderly parents. Long-term healthcare has an exorbitant price
tag, both financially and emotionally.
