Run, Don't Walk
Run, Don't Walk: The Curious and Courageous Life Inside Walter Reed Army Medical Center | Adele Levine
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Adele Levine's days rehabilitating amputee soldiers at Walter Reed were intense, chaotic and heart-breaking, but they were also filled with camaraderie and unlikely humour. Working in a glassed-in gymnasium, Levine, her colleagues and their patients were constantly on display to tour groups, politicians and celebrities. Some would tear up openly at the sight, but inside the glass and out of earshot, the P.T.s and the rowdy patients cracked jokes, played pranks and compared stumps as they worked to not only walk again, but to run. Deeply humane and absorbing.

#BOOKFRIDAY2017 I am planning to give this book to my sister in law. She is a PT and I think she will really enjoy this book. I actually heard about it on Litsy!

My first halfway normal day since surgery two weeks ago. Went to an appt with Mr. B, then out to lunch for BBQ. We passed a library on the way to do an errand afterwards, so we went in to see what was in the used book shop. Picked all of these up for $12! The Tinti book is signed.

And ran into a friend I haven't seen in ages. Of course, I needed a nap when I got home, but it was a GOOD day.

BarbaraTheBibliophage @kspenmoll Thanks - it was a fun day, but I overdid it and am paying the price today. Recovery is a process, that's for sure! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheBookbabeblog84 So many people posted about it here that I had to grab it! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @MarticaMustRead Thanks. So many people were talking about it that I had to cave in to the #litfluence. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @ValerieAndBooks Thank you, sweet friend. I'm low key today after a bad migraine this morning. I must have done too much! 😜 6y
kspenmoll @BarbaraTheBibliophage It is a process! sometimes you just have to push the envelop, rest...see how much you can do, until the next time. I understand; recovery from a car accident took me time, patience, - learning the right balance in recovery can be humbling. Sounds like you have been through so much this year, just trying to figure out your medical issues. Just happy/hopeful for future; I know its so hard some days. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @kspenmoll Good advice, my friend. The patience part is hardest. But I'll get the balance ... can't find it if I don't try a bit. Tomorrow's a trip to the bookstore! 😎👏🏻😎👏🏻😎 6y
Cinfhen Sounds like a great day! Glad you're up & out ❤️ 6y
