I met Esosa for the first time in 2010 at a friends baby shower and her warm personality endeared her to me. If you know me, I love when ladies have their head straight, clued up on what they want and are daring to get what they want. And for ladies like Esosa who go a step further to venture into the so called "men world of engineering", I respect more LOL! That's on a lighter note... However some stories are not told, because they are not just stories but life defining moments, that not only change our perception but could change the world if we are willing to share our experiences. And these experiences are shared at set times and the time is set for us to tell the world this story........
Not My Spine.......
This
memoir is a true, compelling and inspiring story about a
woman’s experience during the pregnancy of her first child, and also after the
birth. Esosa nursed her dream of being a great mother when she became an
expectant mum, but this dream became somewhat crippled when she began to suffer
from a mysterious illness.
With the expectation that
when baby arrives she’d get better given pregnancy comes in different guises,
Esosa’s condition went from bad to worse. She became incapacitated and so was
forced to leave her new baby to the mercies of strangers while she lay
dangerously ill in hospital. Faced with the very real possibility of permanent
paralysis, she fought to get back her lost willpower and hope, in order to live
the life she had always dreamed.
Through this traumatic
experience, Esosa now understands how the ignorance about the symptoms of this
disease and the range of sites within the body it affects can be detrimental. If
her doctors missed it when it initially presented itself, so can anyone
considering the subtle yet grave symptoms which mimics several other illnesses.
A thought provoking,
revealing and uplifting story which shows real faith and strength come to life
in the face of adversity. Her courage
to share what she suffered from as a result of this ordeal is gripping and
unravels so much information for everyone. This insightful book is a must read for everyone living in every
part of the world who cares to know about a killer disease which can lurk
unsuspected for several years before reaching out to harm. She hopes that
through her story people will be inspired
as well as armed with potentially lifesaving information.
