Make My Feet Happy (Nike Shox for Women Review)

When you work in a special needs classroom you are om your feet most of the day. The shoes you wear could either make or break your day. Until I started wearing Nike Shox my days were broken. I would come home with aching feet and a hurting back. However thanks to Nike Shox that all changed.

My Thoughts about the Product

I love these shoes. They are the go-to shoe when you are on your feet all day and you want something that is comfortable and good for you.  I have high arches and these shoes provide me perfect support. They do tend to make my feet hot but I have gotten used to that since wearing my shoes year around. 

If you are looking for tennis shoes that are both supportive and look great look no further than Nike Shox. Your feet will thank you.

Book Review: Chief Complaint Brain Tumor by John Kerastas

I received a free copy of this book/Ebook/Product to review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC Regulations. I am part of Charisma Media Network 

  About the Book:

At 57 years old, I thought I was the poster child for fifty-year old healthiness: I competed in triathlons, rode in 100 mile biking events and ate a healthy diet chock full of organic vegetables. Then I discovered that I had a brain tumor the size of my wife’s fist.

My memoir chronicles the first year I spent addressing tumor-related health issues: preparing for my first operation, discovering a dangerous skull infection, having the infected portion of my skull surgically removed, learning about my substantial vision and cognitive losses, undergoing rehab and radiation treatments, and learning to live with my “new normal.” And, as best I can tell, the phrase “new normal” is the medical community’s code words for “You’re alive, so quit bitchin’.”

As my health changed, so did my sense of humor. My humor started out superficially light-hearted prior to the first operation; transmogrified into gallows humor after several subsequent operations; and leveled out as somewhat wry-ish after radiation and rehab.

Topics I write about in the book include:

§  How not to tell everybody you have a brain tumor

§  Why it’s a lot of work to die in this country

§  Why I had difficulties in naming my tumor

§  How I negotiated bathroom visits with “Nurse Don’t-Bother-Me”

§  Why I could prove that I was the “dumbest gguy in the room”

§  Why someone compared the back of my head to a diseased goat

§  How I flunked a job interview with myself

This is a book for anybody interested in memoirs about people dealing with personal crises, for patients trudging through rehab, for caretakers helping victims of serious illnesses, or for anybody looking for an unexpected chuckle from an unlikely subject.
About the Book:This book had me hooked from the first page. I loved how the author talked about his illness and treatment in a positive, humorous and frank manner. The author presents his story in such a personable manner you feel like you are conversing with an old friend. Parts of this book were so funny they made me laugh out loud.  This book is an inspirational book that reminds you that "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade." 
About the Author:

I’ve worked at a global advertising agency, at several technology start-up companies and as a free-lance writer. Currently I spend most of my time blogging, speaking and writing about brain health, brain tumors and rehab. I speak to hospital rehab groups, stroke and aphasia groups, and last summer spoke at the American Brain Tumor Association’s annual “Patient and Caregiver” conference.

My charity and non-profit efforts includes work through the Taproot Foundation on behalf of Apna Ghar (a Chicago-based non-profit providing domestic violence services to immigrant communities). I also go on Appalachia Service project trips through my church, participate in Early Response Teams that follow first responders into disaster areas, and teach and certify Early Response Teams through the United Methodist Committee on Relief (e.g.UMCOR).
