Title: Together Pdf A Memoir of a Marriage and a Medical Mishap
When Judy Goldman's husband of almost four decades reads a newspaper ad for an injection to alleviate back pain, the outpatient procedure sounds like the answer to his longtime backaches. But rather than restoring his tennis game, the procedure leaves him paralyzed from the waist down--a phenomenon none of the doctors the family consults can explain. Overnight, Goldman's world is turned upside down. Though she has always thought of herself as the polite, demure wife opposite her strong, brave husband, Goldman finds herself thrown into a new role as his advocate, navigating byzantine hospital policies, demanding and refusing treatments, seeking solutions to help him win back his independence.
Along the way, Goldman flashes back to her memories of their life together. As she tries envision her family's future, she discovers a new, more resilient version of herself. Together is a story of the life we imagine versus the life we lead--an elegant and empathetic meditation on partnership, aging, and, of course, love.
Truthfull, humerous, sad and Excellent use of humor And frustrAtion in a unique situation. Would of liked a more descript ending but reaLity was : who knows what the future and life wIll throw us. Obviously a medicAl error 😣Thoughtful reflections on marriage and lasting love. This is a beautifully written, compelling, and heartfelt book about so much more than the medical mishap that changed the lives of an easy-going, ordinary couple in their sixties. It's a powerful and poignant exploration of fear, forgiveness and lasting love.Together Together by Judy Goldman is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early January.Goldman is so mindful and in the moment with such heart and absolute memory, as well as feeling torn on if to appear compliant and nice or filled with rage and blame. This bind leads a reader to be at her side of all things from page one. Her husband, Henry, undergoes an injection-based procedure to lessen his back pain and immediately loses feeling in his limbs/extremities. True to the title, it is a story told between a marriage (in and of itself and within her family) and a medical mishap - to the point that it’s hard to resettle into a relationship after being brought to near-anxiety over this mishap. One of the first books I’ve read that tells a relationship’s history alongside the present-day to see how it influences decision-making and one’s outlook.
