The book draws on her diaries, email and text messages, blogs, and Facebook posts, from high school through college, her travels, and her work. It tells her stories of frequent visits to the hospital, her organ transplants, and the pain and medical problems that accumulate as she gets older, including gastroparesis, esophageal stents, cataract surgery, and opioid addiction. Her narrative is heart-wrenching, heart-warming, uplifting, and depressing. The book also illuminates her parents' struggle with Krystin's diabetes from the time she was diagnosed at age 4 until she died at age 32. Krystin's humor shows up but so does the distinction between her public persona (such as on Facebook) and her private anguish both at the medical issues as well as her inability to deal with her disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 870\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.72 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53246486577459,"sku":"9780578542119","price":70.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/XuqJ8QPFA89780578542119.webp?v=1776286695","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/diabetes-ignored-krystins-life-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
