pickThis is a wild memoir! A terrifying month started with nightmares of bedbugs, but quickly turned to tingling, numbness, paranoia, hallucinations, seizures, memory loss, and more! Thankfully, a doctor was finally able to diagnose her, and it started with asking her to draw a clock. If this hadn‘t happened, she might have been permanently disabled, gone into an institution, or dead! She recounts it all here. (There is also a screen adaptation⬇️
pickI did enjoy this book. However, if you are an avid reader, you will figure out the ending about halfway through. BUT...there was 1 thing that I didn't expect.
This is my Christmas for 2025.
Bilateral knee replacements after over 5 years waiting. Surgery is happening on 11 December and I am so happy at the thought of finally being able to walk again that I am ignoring the probability of missing Christmas.
pickMy dad had a mild case of polio as a kid (and was forever bothered that his school burned his desk and pencil box), so this story of polio in the US, from infections to vaccines, was fascinating to me. But frankly, I would have enjoyed it even without that connection. The writing is engaging and I just wanted to keep listening.
so-so
