One Stroke, Two Survivors: The Incredible Journey of Herb and Berenice Kleiman
by Berenice Kleiman with Comments by Herb Kleiman
How prepared are you for a family health disaster — one that leaves you alone with responsibilities you had never imagined or thought you could handle?
Herb and Berenice Kleiman are partners in love, marriage, and business. For 38 years they worked together, traveled the world and raised a family. They had everything.
On the morning of July 14, 2001, Herb began to show signs of a stroke and their lives were turned upside down. Berenice knew that every decision she made would be critical to his survival. A rare first-person account of stroke and its aftermath, this book is about more than the race to save Herb’s life. It details also Berenice’s fight to overcome the intricacies and challenges of today’s healthcare system, offering hard-won knowledge for present and potential caregivers.
