She tried to muster optimism, perseverance, and assertiveness to combat the fatigue, grief, and privation she felt on loosing her physically active, former way of life. Pacing herself, trying to connect her body and brain, are her ongoing trials, as she \u2028approaches living with MS as a challenge rather \u2028than an obstacle. My Balancing Act centers on managing illness without being consumed by it. These essays tell of the early adjustments the author made, her quest \u2028for self-reliance, and how she avoids defeat by seeking out new experiences and associations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patty Jacobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 097630161X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780976301615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Patty Jacobs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45331728040191,"sku":"9780976301615","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e658369-c5d9-45df-81c6-41320bb5e649.jpg?v=1713970735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-balancing-act-patty-jacobs-9780976301615","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
