It only worsened over time, and as a writer and artist, she had to learn new ways of creating and expressing herself. The experience completely changed her life and her outlook.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e   Look Ma, No Hands\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e explores both the difficulty and the humour of developing chronic and life-altering pain in her twenties. Each chapter looks at a different aspect of her life touched by her disability: how she learned to write when she couldn’t type; how she learned to manage the most mundane daily tasks. She moves cities and as her work as a writer and cartoonist builds has to navigate different byzantine health systems without the privilege or security of having a family doctor, even as she moves into her new apartment and embarks on first dates. And she does all of this with the most wonderful sense of the absurd.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e   Look Ma, No Hands\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis utterly charming and shares profound reflections on life’s curveballs, and explores how, in Drolet’s words, “you can live a full—even funny—life in a disabled body.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49995103207710,"sku":"9780771019142","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/3584\/9246\/files\/9780771019142.jpg?v=1753817289","url":"https:\/\/www.cedarcanoebooks.com\/products\/look-ma-no-hands","provider":"Cedar Canoe Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
