by Paul S. Arinaga (Author)
Heart Matters is a medical memoir. It provides an intimate look at what it's really like to get a heart operation - describing both some of the medical science and your likely feelings - and suggests how you can use the experience for personal growth. In this memoir of his heart operation and its aftermath, Paul Arinaga describes the different aspects of the experience. The book presents some of the medical science related to a heart operation as well as the facts of your recovery. It goes beyond dry, factual descriptions, however, to also describe the emotions behind an operation. Every person's experience will be different, but this book nonetheless gives you a first hand glimpse of what it's really like to get a heart - or any - operation. After reading Heart Matters, you'll have answers to the questions: - How does it feel to get an operation? - What does it really feel like to be put under with anesthesia? - What's it like to wake up from anesthesia? - How much pain might and discomfort might I experience? - What can I do to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery? How long will it take? - What's going to happen while I'm in the hospital? - How can I use this experience to transform my thinking and my life? More than just a description of his experience, in Heart Matters Paul also shares what he learned from the experience and how it changed his way of thinking - and could change yours, too.
