{"product_id":"ride-on-sheila-ashdown-9780578403359","title":"Ride on: Adventures in Traumatic Brain Injury","description":"In 2011, a motorcycle accident left Greg Nordfelt with a traumatic brain injury and multiple broken bones. When he rejoined the world after eleven days in and out of a coma and nearly a month of memory loss, Greg found himself radically changed. Formerly an athletic adrenaline-junkie and successful banking executive, he could no longer walk, speak, read, or write. As he worked earnestly to relearn these fundamental human skills, his wife, Laura, was getting a crash-course training in her new role as Greg's full-time caregiver. To complicate matters, while Laura was overwhelmed with grief, worry, and post-traumatic stress, Greg was having a very different experience. No one knew it, but a near-death experience had landed him into a state of euphoria, where no negativity or pain could penetrate his blissful \"safe place.\" The story follows Greg and Laura through the gruesome accident and its long-term aftermath as they work to rebuild their lives and nurture their marriage. Along the journey, they meet with hardships, isolation, and pain-but they also find unexpected turns, surprising gifts, and a new sense of community with others whose lives have been affected by traumatic brain injury.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheila Ashdown, Greg Nordfelt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0578403358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780578403359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Calliope Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.36d","brand":"Sheila Ashdown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44302070415615,"sku":"9780578403359","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08058ef6-2fe9-40c9-bc61-82f0111f35b7.jpg?v=1695159347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ride-on-sheila-ashdown-9780578403359","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
