Nothing Short of a Miracle

Awareness is the key to understanding, and it is with this belief that the author, Nelma Jean Bryson, shares her story of physical hardship, emotional turmoil, mental anguish, and spiritual growth. Our becoming aware that we are responsible for our own health, regardless of the circumstances, empowers us to make choices that create better health and more enjoyment of our lives. Nelma traveled many roads to find a satisfactory solution to her physical limitations and on these roads encountered the all-too-common thread of being considered a hypochondriac and a mental case.

Our society tends to foster these beliefs regarding the health of our women and we are only now, in the 21st century, beginning to see that we ourselves know more about our own bodies than anyone regardless of their training and education. Our awareness of our ability to choose our medical care, discuss this care with our chosen caregivers, and, ultimately, to make the decisions that determine our own health is a giant step in the direction of changes for our medical industry.

Nelma found that good health is a possibility and that working in partnership with her health care providers is the best possible way to achieve the best possible health. It is Nelma’s hope that this sharing of her story will help you become aware of your own power to choose health care that will provide the best possible quality of life and the best possible health you may enjoy.

Nothing Short of a Miracle takes the reader on a roller coaster ride through the trials and tribulations, tears and joys, disappointments and victories experienced by the author over a period of thirty years of personal experiences, personal awareness, learning opportunities, and spiritual growth as she travels the rocky road to better health.
