But one day, he noticed a troubling weakness in his hand. At first, he brushed it off as carpal tunnel syndrome, but after a week of neurological exams and two MRIs, he learned the cause of the problem: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS or Lou Gehrigâs disease. At age thirty-two, Ady was given just three to four years to live, yet despite the devastating diagnosis, he refused to let his remaining days go to waste. This is a rousing memoir about determination, perseverance, and how to live a life filled with purpose and intention, tracing Ady's path from the initial shock to a renewed commitment to social justice, not despite his disability but because of it. Through flashbacks, it also illustrates Adyâs journey from a goofy political nerd to a prominent figure in the enduring fight for equity and justice in healthcare. 541 $d 20230427. 600 1 $a Barkan, Ady. 650 $a Political activists $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a Medical care $z United States. 650 $a Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis $x Patients $z United States $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. 700 $a Ocasio-Cortez, Alexandria, $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 3 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409033852.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021120.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230617010104.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3F8AE7DC0CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
