The Very Able Quadriplegic in 140C by Alain Paradis
“I’m a bedridden quadriplegic. Would I rather have not been a bedridden quadriplegic? That’s a quandary from which there could be no response. I know I’d rather be me, and I certainly have MS.”—Alain Paradis
Alain Paradis. Paradis is currently a resident in Room 140, Bed C at Hallowell House, Picton, Ontario but his mind is not confined to his bed—nor is his sense of humour. In his warm and funny autobiography, Paradis has readers both hooting out loud and crying as he recounts instances related to his Multiple Sclerosis, his two battles with cancer and other health challenges that he meets with candid humanity, laughter and quiet courage.
General readers and healthcare professionals will gain insight about the lives and coping skills of physically challenged and critically ill people. They will share Paradis’ frustration over bogus parking tickets and insurance scams, and applaud when they read about the day he got mad and threw a rock through two bank doors — before going to prison.
An inspiring story, not to be missed!
