Nothing With Tomato Sauce: Reflections on Adversity & The Powerful Lessons it Teaches

By Michele Szkolnicki

Nothing With Tomato Sauce: Reflections on Adversity & The Powerful Lessons it Teaches takes the reader into the life of a woman who underwent an unbelievable procedure and recovery period in order to save her eyesight, and who came out on the other side a changed woman. Her inspiring story leads to 10 practical lessons that anyone can use to lead a happier, less stressful life. Around Christmas of 2009, Michele Szkolnicki noticed a fuzziness in her one good eye. That fuzziness turned out to be a Macular Hole, requiring a specific surgery, called a vitrectomy, which would involve an extremely difficult recovery period. Success of the surgery depended as much on the skills of the surgeon as it did on the Michele's compliance with keeping her head constantly looking down, while at the same time having no vision for the entire 4-week recovery period. As she learned to get through that month, she was constantly tested with the adversity of the situation. This is not a book about how to survive a vitrectomy or its challenging recovery requirements. Instead, it is a reflection on what this experience taught Michele about life, and how you can learn from her hardship as well.
