No time to cry

Beschreibung

The BSE cattle epidemic made people feel insecure in 1998. The newspapers came up with a horrific scenario: the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease for people. Barbara and Jürgen don't worry too much; they are happy to fly to Fuerteventura. Barbara has come up with a lot to give her rusty married life a little pep. But her husband Jürgen does not go with them. Even his wife's fitness efforts are more of a strain on him - actually a sporty type. He feels limp and drained, and he finds the glaring sunlight of the Canary Islands uncomfortable. One day his legs fail while surfing the waves, and he almost drowns. Just a one-time incident? The couple has no idea that it will be their last vacation together. Nor what strength will be required of them in the following twelve months. Because the diagnosis is: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease! At that point, Jürgen was already living in his own world. Barbara has to deal with everything on her own. But she knows it’s no time to cry! Barbara Ludwig describes the adventurous, sad, and often comical experiences of the course of the disease from both her and her husband's point of view. This leaves the reader a lot of leeway for their own considerations. With an epilogue by Prof. Dr. Hans A. Kretschmar, Head of the Center for Neuropathology and Prion Research at the Ludwig Maximillian’s University in Munich. And A recent epilogue by Prof. Dr. Inga Zerr, Head of the dementia and prion research group at Dept. of Neurology, Georg-August University of Göttingen. First published in the series Experiences at Bastei LÜBBE
