A young Chinese Canadian woman — an artist and musician — on vacation in the Caribbean has a headache and pops an ibuprofen only to find herself having an extreme and rare reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). Her skin itches and begins peeling off and her body starts to shut down. She awakes from a coma months later to find her body covered in scar tissue that is encroaching on her sight and hearing. Through these terrifying events and a long, slow recovery, Vivian Chong's whole world seems to shrink and go away, but she is determined to redefine herself and continue to express herself through her creativity. I am horrified by what she has endured and in awe of what she continues to accomplish in the face of so many challenges. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In late 2004, Vivian Chong's life was changed forever when a rare skin disease, TEN (Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis), left her with scar tissue that would eventually blind her. As she was losing her sight, she put down as many drawings on paper as she could to document the experience. In Dancing After TEN, Chong teams up with cartoonist Georgia Webber -- whose graphic autobiography, Dumb, chronicled her own disability -- to trace her journey out of the darkness and into the spotlight. Chong now expresses her art through singing, stand-up, drumming, running, and dancing. This graphic novel is an inspirational tale and a powerful work of graphic medicine.
