Publisher Description
After thirty years of a healthy, rewarding and exciting life, I wake up in a hospital bed unable to move. The neurosurgeon leans down and breaks the news: You won’t regain any function in your body and you will never walk again. My medical insurance sends me home, discontinues my care, and tells me to “adapt to my new life.”
Little Big Steps is the story of the pivotal moments, interactions, and breakthroughs following the injury that turned my life upside down. Each chapter explores the experiences, challenges, and discoveries that have inspired me to work towards those accomplishments I was told were impossible. There are moments of immense frustration and grief, and moments of surreal hilariousness and unparalleled joy as I remain on the path to get back on my feet. The story culminates with proof that motivation, determination, and unwavering commitment can lead to incredible achievements.
Customer Reviews
Wonderful Story!
I’d highly recommend this book to anyone but, as a caregiver who has dealt with the medical establishment for several years, this book was refreshing and very helpful. It inspired both my husband and myself to continue to strive for a better quality of life despite what negative medical personnel may tell you. My husband, a heart patient, coded 21 times before his health was regained to live a better life and come home. I was advised to terminate his care because he was “wasting hospital resources” — yet now he has been healthy for 3 1/2 years. This author honestly tells it like it is and inspires all of us to succeed. I hope he writes another book and continues to improve his health.
Incredibly inspiring
Couldn’t put this book down. So moved by Arash’s determination and honesty and the vulnerability he is not afraid to share.
