Description

At the age of 62, TSB suffered a lifechanging sporting accident which turned him into a quadriplegic but, thankfully, not a cabbage. With his brain working overtime to compensate for an immobile body, he convinced himself that it was "Mind over Matter" and that he would get over his paralysis despite a less than positive prognosis by his doctors. Every chapter is a new story with all sorts of memory jerkers and mind links to music, movies, TV shows, cars, books and anything else that caused a blip in his brain. He has stories about work, his wife, kids, friends, flashbacks to younger days, life, the universe and (almost) everything. He does also (sometimes) talk about what he did every day for 5 years to get back on his feet again. Along the way, the stories consider the following questions: Who drives the fastest invalid carriage in the world? How many Margaritas should you drink before carrying a dead body across a beach? How many urologists does it take to sort out one set of fishing tackle? How do you conquer the world from a wheelchair? What is 420 and the difference between a coffee house and a coffee shop? Who is watching over us and is the truth really out there? What is the top speed of a Zimmer Frame? Why is "motivation" a four-letter word? TSB writes with a pithy, sometimes poignant but often self-deprecating style, not afraid to laugh at himself on the one hand while taking a spastic-handed jab with his other one at whoever tries to stick a "Disabled" label on him. He is not, repeat NOT, disabled. He is "Temporarily Unable" to do some things. But that has not stopped him from trying. When you read this book there is just one thing you have to do, and that is "Don't Stop Believin'.
