For thirty-eight years Herb and Berenice Kleiman worked together, traveled the world together, and raised a family together. Just as they were discovering the joys of spoiling their grandchildren, their lives changed forever.
On the morning of July 14, 2001, Herb began to show signs of suffering a stroke. Their lives were turned upside down. As Herb’s symptoms became more acute, Berenice knew that every decision she made would be critical to his survival. Should she try to find a small local hospital, which might not have what Herb needed? Should she risk the three-hour drive home to take Herb to Cleveland Clinic, where the finest medical care is available?
A rare, first-person caregiver account of stroke and its aftermath, this memoir is about more than the race to save Herb’s life. It details as well Berenice’s fight to overcome the intricacies and challenges of today’s modern health-care system, offering hard-won knowledge that every caregiver or potential caregiver must have.
In the hope that their experience will help others, Berenice, with comments from Herb, shares their story with bravery and candor.
