"Professor Cromer Learns to Read" shows that it is possible for a person with an injured brain to continue to heal and improve for years with the right treatment. Alan shares his eloquent tour of the shattered and healing universe inside his brain as few people can.
In a memoir brimming with information, Janet explores the mysteries and miracles of their new world from her perspective as Alan's wife, Interpreter of the World, and rehab partner. Above all, our book is the story of a marriage that transforms and triumphs, but is never defeated by catastrophic illness. Alan also faced the huge challenge of shaping a new identity and life. So began seven years of intensive rehabilitation, re-creation, and redefining priorities and goals. In a flash, Alan went from being a successful physics professor to a brain injury survivor fighting to relearn everything he once knew.
When a harrowing heart attack and cardiac arrest robbed Alan's brain of vital oxygen, he lost his abilities to read, write, walk, talk, think, and remember.
