By that afternoon, she saw the world—quite literally—upside down. By New Year’s Day, she was unable to form a coherent sentence. And after hours in the ER, days in the hospital, and multiple questions and tests, she learned that she had had a stroke. For months, Lee outsourced her memories to her notebook. It is from these memories that she has constructed this frank and compelling memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a precise and captivating narrative, Lee navigates fearlessly between chronologies, weaving her childhood humiliations and joys together with the story of the early days of her marriage; and then later, in painstaking, painful, and unflinching detail, her stroke and every upset, temporary or permanent, that it causes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLee processes her stroke and illuminates the connection between memory and identity in an honest, meditative, and truly funny manner, utterly devoid of self-pity. And as she recovers, she begins to realize that this unexpected and devastating event provides a catalyst for coming to terms with her true self.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christine Hyung-Oak Lee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46981617778857,"sku":"9780062422156","price":14.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9780062422156.webp?v=1775865016","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/tell-me-everything-you-dont-remember-the-stroke-that-changed-my-life","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
