Me 1 Arthritis 0
In his early twenties, Brandon Wilkinson received a shocking diagnosis: he had arthritis. Life took a sudden and devastating turn as he coped with chronic pain and the knowledge that he needed immediate hip replacement surgery. Yet as he struggled against the pain throughout his body, Wilkinson made a conscious decision to win the fight. With emotional depth and a maturity beyond his years, Wilkinson delves into the difficult days following his diagnosis in Me 1 Arthritis 0. He tells of how friends, family, and co-workers greeted the news with varying degrees of support, sympathy, and even pity, and he shares the emotional upheaval that he experienced in every aspect of his life. After his successful surgery, Wilkinson changed his life: he adopted better eating habits, pain-management techniques, and an improved mental attitude. In the end, Wilkinson triumphed over his disease and today lives a pain-free life. Dark and edgy with splashes of humor, this memoir is a must-read for all arthritis sufferers. Wilkinson's courage and strength brilliantly capture the true essence of the human spirit and will inspire anyone living with the physical and mental aspects of chronic pain.
