520    "In 2012, Vanessa Potter, a married advertising film 
       producer with two young children, was stricken by 
       Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD), a rare 
       illness that resulted in sudden blindness and paralysis. 
       She was hospitalized for two weeks. Over the next five 
       months at home, she regained mobility but recovering her 
       sight was more problematic. At first what she saw was 
       monochromatic. As color reappeared, she encountered 
       synesthesia (experiencing odd responses to stimuli, such 
       as hearing inanimate objects talk to her). While a 
       multidisciplinary team of neurobiologists, psychologists, 
       immunologists, and developmental biologists treated her, 
       she blogged and kept audio-diaries, using the pen-name 
       Patient H69. In her own words, Potter reveals the terror 
       and torment of her blindness. Supported by neuroscientists
       and Britain's National Health Service, Potter became a 
       science sleuth, uncovering some of the innermost functions
       of the brain and our complex visual system, while learning
       meditation and self-hypnosis to help herself endure the 
       ordeal and make a miraculous recovery."--Publisher's 
       website.
