| Summary |
"This book chronicles a patient's true-life stories and her physician's compassionate commentary as they take a journey through the three stages of chronic illness - Getting Sick, Being Sick, and Living Well. The authors address such practical aspects as hiring a doctor, managing chronic pain, coping with grief, and much more. This warmhearted resource helps you focus on building a meaningful life that contains illness as opposed to a life of frustration and fear. Designed for patients at all stages of the chronic illness journey, this book is also illuminating for caregivers and loved ones."--BOOK JACKET |
