Running a marathon is much more than just a metaphor in Benjamin Carey's powerful memoir Barefoot in November. His inspiring story, beautifully told, encourages us to take charge of our own fate. This book captures his emotional, physical and spiritual journey to the finish line and beyond. Benjamin Carey's world is understandably rocked when he discovers that he is living with an aortic aneurysm. He credits his family, doctors and surgeons, as well as post John Ritter awareness, for his survival. In the wake of John's loss the demand for information about aortic dissection and its genetic predisposition was heightened. This wave of awareness has brought about a significant rise in correct diagnosis and in proactive treatment for this dangerous ticking time bomb. Ben's wife Nicole and his mother keep him on track by reminding him to consider John's fate when assessing his own. I especially appreciate the simplicity and specificity with which he lays out the medical and personal events leading to his life saving surgery. His writing strikes the perfect tone while honestly recounting what it took to survive his ordeal. The tenderness, toughness and humor required will be recognizable to anyone who has gone through this kind of crash course in aortic disease or any life changing event. I recommend this touching and inspiring book to everyone. -Amy YasbeckActress, Author, & Founder of the John Ritter Foundation

Comments:

Exellent

Although my surgery was for heart valve replacement , Most of the described experiences were very similar to mine in preparation, surgery, and recovery phases. (Even some of the same complications reared there ugly head)
Many of the wide spectrum of emotional issues & connections experienced were also very familiar.

Would recommend for anyone seeking insight into what a major heart surgery and recovery entails on a personal level.

I found "Barefoot in November", by Benjamin J. Carey, while doing some research on aortic aneurysms. Just a couple of days before this, I found out what the doctor was initially calling an enlarged aortic root had increased in size, and now I was hearing the word aneurysm. Combine this with a leaky bicuspid aortic valve, and I was told by my doctor that we were getting close.
I came across Heartosaurus.com, and could not stop reading. This is where I found Benjamin's book "Barefoot in November". It took about a week to come through the mail, but seemed like so much longer. I had never looked so forward to reading a book, than I did for this one. I'll be honest, I have never been one to be able to stay awake through a book. When it came in, I started reading immediately. I could not put it down. I felt justified for all the feelings that I had over the last week and a half. Don't want to give anything away here, but the feelings Benjamin was going through, was point on with the way I was feeling. The denial, the anger, the fear, mixed in with the uncertainties. This book has helped me to better prepare myself for my upcoming surgery, as well as prepare my family. My wife is currently reading this book, and my mother, who lives thirteen hours away has now ordered the book too.
"Barefoot In November" is a must read for anyone about to go through or has gone through Open Heart Surgery, as well as family members, friends, or anyone that is looking to be inspired.
Thank you Benjamin J. Carey for sharing your's and your family's ups and downs throughout that trying year. You all have given me the strength and courage to get past this difficult time.

Brief Book Review:

I went on line last week to purchase Benjamin's book, entitled `Barefoot in November.' It arrived in my mailbox on Thursday and I had read it from cover to cover by Sunday morning, in spite of many interruptions. It was a fascinating and emotional read for me. Benjamin describes his distressing and fear-laden journey through diagnosis, denial, anger, frustration, unwilling acceptance, actual acceptance, surgeon selection, surgery, recovery with a few `road bumps,' and then the birth of his third child, and finally training for the New York City Marathon whilst still recovering from the preceding events. Now! That was a busy year!

This book brought back many memories of my aortic surgery, especially the associated fear, the critical need for support of family and friends, and the courage needed to face the issue head on. This book made me cry a little (not very British!), laugh a lot, and it provides the much needed inspiration that we all need to survive life's difficulties and challenges with a positive spirit. Benjamin's writing style reminds me of the way another one of my heroes, Tim Ferriss, writes - a young guy with lots of balls! How his wife puts up with him I have no idea, but he sure loves her and their kids.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has relatives, friends, or children that they care about; aka everyone! I would also encourage people to put out the word, as `Barefoot in November' chronicals the critical nature of listening to your body and then doing something about any warning signals, which can be very subtle. Denial can kill, and it nearly did kill Benjamin Carey. Thank goodness he listened, finally! What is more, he is working hard as an advocate for awareness of the risks associated with aortic aneurysms, which are much more common than most people realize.

Great job on all fronts! I must add, as the author did in his extensive acknowledgments section, that it is evident that his successes were attributable in no small part to the perseverance of his wife, Nicole!

Congratulations to Benjamin Carey, his family, friends, and all of his health-care providers.

Thanks so much for writing this important book!

Cheers,

Kevin

Simply put: This book can change your outlook on life. If you are dealing with a life-threatening situation of your own, have a loved one that is, or are simply looking for some answers to what the meaning of life is... this book is for you! During this read, at different points in the book, I found myself laughing, nodding my head, shaking my head, and in near tears. The author does a great job of painting the picture of a man who, like most, made some mistakes in life, but learned so much in a short period of time due to the fact that he was thrown into a life-threatening situation in a matter of seconds. This man was living a normal life before being brought to a place that no one wants to be, and ended up coming out of it a better man, father, and husband. Again, this is a great read. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking to better themselves, find some meaning in life, or simply find a good ol' uplifting book. 5 stars.

Good book for others going through this at a young age similar to the author. May want to wait and read the second half of the book until after you have recovered from surgery though, especially if you are a worrier.

For anyone going through this with a family member or friend this is a must read!! My husband and I are living through this right now and reading this book is like we are writing it from our lives. Thankful for the stress test that found this but not looking forward to the rest.

A must read for everyone, especially those who may be looking at open heart surgery. The book takes you into fears , courage , strength , love and the before & after process of going thru open heart surgery. There were parts that made me smile , cry , laugh , have faith & hope in my own destiny. You can't put this book down it will take you in ,, It was a true gift to read "Barefoot in November".
