In the quirky, sassy voice that has made her popular on health Web sites and with the women of MS MOMS, Lorna Moorhead recounts the experience of her first year with multiple sclerosis with a vitality unique in the often gloomy world of personal medical histories. Rather than focusing on the sadness and difficulties that followed her diagnosis, Moorhead deals with the practical problems faced by many MS patients: how to parent effectively, stand up to doctors who think she looks "fine," and what to do with the mixed bag of cognitive difficulties. Moorhead is a real-life person with real-life reactions to MS-she fights back when people attack her for parking in the handicapped spot even though she looks normal and she faces life with a spunky humor that will lift the spirits and encourage others fighting the disease. Hilarious, yet telling chapter headings such as "Not Tonight Dear, I Have MS" give readers a quick insight into the mind of this vibrant, intelligent woman. New Mobility Magazine Review: "Remember Lorna Moorhead, creator of the Web site, MSMOMS.com? She's written a book-Coffee in the Cereal- which chronicles 1998, her first year with MS. it's a hilarious look back for folks who've had the disease for awhile, and the humor helps newbies relax and laugh at the idiosyncrasies of life with brain lesions." "This is Lorna's first book and hopefully not her last. Her clear voice and smart-aleck humor is a pleasure to read." What other readers are saying: “Coffee
in the Cereal is a refreshing break from the daily drudgery and frustration of
living with a chronic, disabling illness.” “I
laughed out loud several times. Any book that can make me do that is worth
reading, not once, but several times!”
“Lorna's
style of writing is refreshing compared to all the stuffy medical writers out
there.” “I
laughed, I cried and I lived each experience as though it were my own!” |
