Self-Help Health
A well-known and internationally recognized surgical
oncologist, Dr. Marc Wallack kept fit by training as an avid
marathoner. He was the rock of his family, at the top of his
career, and an expert on health who practiced what he
preached-until he suffered angina symptoms while on a run in
Central Park. Two days later, after discovering his arteries
were 95 percent blocked, he underwent quadruple bypass
surgery and later found himself unprepared for the emotional
fallout of his recovery.
In Back to Life After a
Heart Crisis, Dr. Wallack and his wife, journalist Jamie
Colby, offer their moving personal story along with a
one-of-a-kind, prescriptive guide for reclaiming your life
after confronting the issues of mortality and vulnerability
raised by a traumatic heart event-whether it be a heart
attack or a surgical procedure. Brimming with inspiration
and encouragement, this unique book shows readers how to
regain emotional strength in tandem with healing physically
by working through eight important milestones:
*Conquer the night
*Get outside
*Survive
doctors' appointments
*Face physical and emotional
pain
*Make love to your partner again
*Face your dinner plate
*Confront career issues
*Take on a huge physical challenge
With
sidebars and tops for caregivers, Back to Life After a
Heart Crisis helps patients and their loved ones heal
hearts and minds and feel vibrant and full of life again.
