Day By Day

By Melissa Nichols and Melissa Nichols (MacKenzie)

Published May 2014 (non-fiction) An inspirational tale of overcoming the unimaginable- emergency surgery to remove a rare brain tumour at 28 years old. Despite learning to walk again, Melissa shares stories that will awaken feelings of not only despair and frustration, but also determination and, yes: inspiration. Foreword by Simon Kendall of Doug and The Slugs. "I had a taste of what it is like to be a patient being a student of healthcare, working in long term care homes, taking care of a couple of loved ones who were sick and volunteering for hospice. Healthy as healthy can be- no medications, never taking painkillers for even a headache (which would never get them anyways). No disorders, diseases, infections, allergies, or even sensitivities. I walked to virtually everywhere I went, living the city life.With a blink of an eye, I am laying in a hospital bed with a few hours notice that I was having surgery to remove a brain tumour. The tables have turned- I was now the patient for the first time. Facebook/Instagram @InspiringToAspire Youtube: Inspiring To Aspire Website www.inspiringtoaspire.ca
