Sample Book Insights: #1 I was forty-six, and I was in a relationship with a man who was extremely well suited to me in various ways. But I began to notice a change: I was losing sensation inside my body, and my postcoital rush of good emotional and physical feelings was no longer following the physical pleasure I had certainly experienced. #2 I was so panicked about the loss of the emotional aspects of my life and my sexuality that I went to see a gynecologist, who diagnosed me with numbness from nerve compression. I was relieved to learn that I would never lose the ability to have an orgasm from the clitoris. #3 I met with Dr. Cole at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation, which he helps to lead. He explained that the new set of x-rays revealed what the matter with me was. I had been born with a mild version of spina bifida, in which the spinal vertebrae never develop completely. The blow from 20 years before had cracked the already fragile and incompletely formed vertebrae. #4 The doctor explained that I had been extremely lucky never to have experienced any symptoms until then. I would need to consider surgery to fuse the vertebrae, and to relieve the pressure on the nerve.
