SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Like the day Elvis died, the day you wake up paralyzed is not a day you soon forget. For writer Rucker--baby boomer, husband, father of two, aging Hollywood also-ran--life started over that Tuesday when, at the age of fifty-one, he was struck by a rare disorder--transverse myelitis--that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He was forced to reevaluate everything, from the simplest bodily functions to the mysteries of the universe. This book offers an unpretentious and unapologetic account of learning to live with paralysis. Without trivializing his situation, and without sermons or clichés, Rucker invites all readers, whether disabled or not, to identify with him for better or for worse. This comic, heartfelt book speaks to the fragility of life and to the resilience and adaptability of a single, ordinary human being.--From publisher description."--Source other than the Library of Congress.
