Surviving Stroke

The Story of a Neurologist and His Family

In October 2016, Udo Kischka suffered a severe stroke. A large intra-cerebral bleed, a bleed deep in the right side of his brain. 

He was not a typical stroke patient: Professor Kischka was a Neurologist and specialist in stroke rehabilitation. 

Like all stroke patients, he embarked on a journey of recovery. In his case, it was a re-education in his field of expertise. When he uttered the words 'This is a life-changing event' to his wife a few hours after the stroke, he had no idea just how life-changing it would be or that there would be still be a good life to be had. 

Written by experts on both sides of the fence - a stroke victim who is a stroke specialist, and a Psychologist who helps others and now has to help herself and her family - this is a personal and brutally honest story of a family's survival. 

This accessible and relatable audiobook provides insight and realistic hope about what might lie ahead following a stroke, as well as offering both practical and emotional support.
