Lessons from a CF Cornerman 38 Lessons I Learned During My Wife Illness And Lung Transplant edition by Raymond L Poole Professional Technical eBooks

What a story! Written in a way that I couldn't put it down, I read this book in one day! I appreciated the humility and humor of the author as he and his wife faced a life-time medical journey - one that was always changing. This couple truly are a team as they experience and react to the scary and sudden events that come their way. (Working with engineers, I got a kick out of the spreadsheet approach to just about everything - it is something that must be in their DNA!) Reading it all in one day, I think I especially observed the exhaustion for all that comes with a chronic condition; the spouse basically becomes an expert in the disease and the best advocate for the patient. I also respected the honesty and guilt the author shared about knowing no matter how he felt, his wife was always going to feel worse. How do you balance that? Finally, the love and inside humor made this such a personal story. Whenever the author commented about the cute little bun on top of his wife's head, I would smile.

What an amazing story! My emotions were pulled in every direction; I laughed out loud, I cried, and yes, I even experienced frustrations! Rebecca's story is incredible, and for her to have found love and devotion in Ray is a true blessing. Ray did a great job recording their journey. I recommend reading their story and become inspired by their love and will to live! (the picture on the cover speaks louder than words, and chokes me up whenever I see it!) I have recommended this book to my book club!
More than anything, this book is about eyes wide open love. It’s an unbelievably candid discussion about that promise we all made; in sickness and in health. For most of us, we’ve been able to relegate thoughts of what exactly that means to some distant point in time. After reading the book, like it or not you’ll have mentally crossed that bridge with Ray and Rebecca. Whether you’re dealing with health issues or not, this book is still well worth the read. It’s an emotional rollercoaster through the ups and downs of life, love, and illness. Ray does an excellent job of making those emotions raw and real to the reader, while simultaneously injecting humor with regularity to remind us all that happiness, in large part, is all a matter of perspective. I hope my family is never in their shoes, but if we are, I hope we shine like they have.
This is a wonderful story about Rebecca and Ray and written so beautifully by Ray. It is written in a way that everyone can relate to- compassionate, sad, funny, loving, thoughtful. Ray is very open in telling their story which makes it even more helpful to those who may be going through a similar situation. Rebecca is an amazingly strong person. The lessons in this book can be applied to life in so many ways in addition to a circumstance of illness or chronic disease. I recommend the book for everyone (gives life some perspective) but especially for family caregivers, professional health care providers, friends and family of caregivers. Thank you to Rebecca and Ray for sharing their story and to Ray for writing this book.
This book brings together an amazing story of survival for a CF patient from the perspective of a husband and caregiver. The story is suspenseful (even though the end is given away on the cover of the book!), while also practical, educational and inspiring. The author provides an inside view into the life of a caregiver, including everything from medical emergencies to Facebook posts to managing visitors, weaving in a love story and practical tips for anyone who may be in a position to give care to a family member, friend or loved one. The author also demonstrates the importance of humor, even in the most dire and stressful circumstances.

Ray and Becca's story is an inspiration for any type of reader.

Great book - highly recommend!
I loved the idea behind this book. Often times as a healthcare provider we often forget the family in the corner. Over the years I have tried to correct that with asking them questions about their loved ones health. I was on sidelines for their journey, however after reading this book I have a entirely new perspective of all the dynamics that happen during such a crucial time in their lives. I loved the recognition of the Respiratory therapist,we are often forgotten (the unsung heroes) in healthcare. I would recommend this book for anyone in healthcare,but especially for respiratory therapist. Why? Because throughout this book you can see how each step along the way we as RTs made a impact in her care. The testament of Ray and Rebecca's love and how he stood his ground was remarkable. I can relate to part of the story of her mother. A truly great read!!!
I received this book 2 days ago. Diving right in, I was quickly swept into an amazing and courageous journey by Rebecca and Ray Poole. Rebecca had never really let Cystic Fibrosis slow her down, but that all changed in January 2015 when she ended up with 2 choices--death, or a double lung transplant. Ray's part in all of this was to show up, support her, be her advocate, and be...well...her cornerman.

I finished the book in a little over 48 hours...I absolutely could not put it down! It is well written, emotional, and forces you to turn every page to see what Rebecca's journey will hold next. From empathizing to tears and snot behind a hospital mask, laughing at Ms. Carla's butt misfortune, and kinda wanting to kick a character or 2 in the teeth, Ray has a way of writing that truly captures the audience and makes one a part of a journey that they would never wish on themselves...one that Rebecca and Ray traveled upon with grace, wit, humor, and strength.
