Every forty-one minutes another person is added to the list of more than 250,000 Americans living with spinal cord injuries. Many of these injuries will likely leave the person confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his or her life. These are just ordinary people living ordinary lives and – in one split second – their lives are changed forever.
Another Fine Mess You've Gotten Us Into: The Life and Adventures of a Quad takes you through the author's one-of-a-kind emotional experience as he journeys through more than forty years of life as a quadriplegic caused by a severe spinal cord injury. This is not a journey of suffering and sorrow but one of hope and accomplishment, with experiences that can benefit the lives of all readers.
Humorous
Robert (Bob) Prondzinski started writing this book because of all the requests he had from his friends to document some of the very unique - mostly humorous - situations he put them in over the years; hence, the title of the book. Although Bob frames the content by sharing some of his journey from his initial accident, to getting a job and living independently - and even touches on his sex life as a quad - the primary focus is on something much more important to him: finding the humor in his misadventures and living to tell the stories to others. You're welcome to come along on some of his most memorable adventures, including:
| "It's Faster by Plane." Wrong! |
Condoms for Everyone |
| Footballs and Footfalls |
Puerto Rico Here I Come! |
| Romance at the Playboy Club |
Reeb Traf |
| Space Shuttle Police |
... and more! |
Inspiring
If you were inspired by well-known actor Christopher Reeve's struggles as a quadriplegic, you'll be able to go behind the scenes as Bob explains in detail what it physically and emotionally feels like to be one. His candid descriptions serve to answer many questions that family and friends of those with serious injuries hesitate to ask. At the time of this writing, more than 29,000 U.S. soldiers have been wounded in Iraq since 2003. They suffer from all kinds of injuries, including spinal injuries and amputations. Another Fine Mess You’ve Gotten Us Into allows the reader to experience all of the emotions, setbacks, and triumphs of someone living with a serious injury.
Informative
The book includes an addendum that outlines many of the technologies, products and equipment Bob uses to make his life easier in the hopes that it may help others bypass a lot of trial and error if they have similar needs.
