Kady Dash is the author of "Back Surgery. Step by Step Recovery Guide: What your doctor can't tell you" and "Show Some Spine! The Most Effective Physical Therapy Exercises for a Strong Back", and "How to find care for your elderly parent: A guide to selecting assisted living and nursing home, plus what to do when the money runs out." Her latest book is "Patient's guide, Cataract surgery, normal and LASIK reshaped cornea." After going through back surgery, Kady learned that information on what to expect and how to prepare for surgery and recovery is hard to find. Doctors have a different way of thinking about medical procedures; what they share with the patients lacks the non-medical details that one needs to know to make a recovery easier. Kady Dash has kept a diary of what happened every step of her journey from surgery through rehabilitation, physical therapy, and beyond. Learn what she learned and what she would have done differently if she knew at the start what she knows now. This diary became a base for "Back Surgery. Step by Step Recovery Guide". She hopes that others will benefit from this information will make surgery and recovery an easier experience. Following the success of "Back Surgery," she took a similar approach to describe cataract surgery. Her particular interest was to highlight the differences between cataract surgery for normal and LASIK reshaped corneas. "Show Some Spine!" is based on intense physical therapy rehabilitation after back surgery. After six months of supervised physical therapy, Kady shares the ten most effective exercises for rehabilitating and maintaining a strong back. In "How to find care for your elderly parent," Kady shares the experience she gained during a two-year journey of moving her mother from independent living to assisted living and then to a nursing home. She details the step-by-step process of what to do when the money to pay for the facilities ran out. Kady describes the obstacles she had to overcome so you can learn from her mistakes instead of your own. It is easy to feel overwhelmed trying to make the best choices for your parent. This book is specific and detailed. It is the no-nonsense helping hand every caregiver needs. Kady Dash has a Masters's Degree in Mathematics and has been an IT professional in New England.
