JOLIET, Ill., Nov. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fran Hollister, a retired public school teacher
and longtime resident of Illinois,
has completed her new book "If You Get Me out of This One…": a
first-hand reflection on her life after a minor accident and the
excruciating pain, loss of function, and years of therapy she
endured after suffering the onset and progression of Reflex
Sympathetic Dystrophy.
The author shares, "It started out to be what I would identify
as a normal day. After work I was running an errand. I was in a
parking lot when the car in front of me started to back up, so I
extended my arm on the steering wheel to beep. I was hit anyway.
There wasn't any damage, and I felt fine, so I didn't think it was
necessary to exchange names, but luckily, I remembered his license
plate. Thirty to forty-five minutes later, my shoulder started to
ache. Ten days later, my arm and hand were nonfunctional. It
started out as a sprain, and it developed into reflex sympathetic
dystrophy (RSD), which is currently known as complex regional pain
syndrome (CRPS). Unfortunately, when my insurance company contacted
the man who had backed into me, he denied it. Nearly two years
later, thirty-two hours before the statute of limitation was up,
there was a twist of fate; I was blindsided with a phone call. And
this is when I hired my attorney, Elliott
Pelegrin.
"It's my hope that after reading, 'If You Get Me Out of This
One...', readers will realize one needs determination not only to
recover from RSD/CRPS, but any conflict. I was in for the fight of
my life, I made it through because I did exactly what my doctors,
therapists, and attorney told me to do. It took a lot of time,
work, patience, and mostly determination. I gave it my best
shot.
"Several times I've heard Robin
Roberts from Good Morning America say, 'Make your mess your
message.' It took me twenty-nine years before I could openly
discuss my mess."
