Hey man, what's all the fuss about?
I'm fine.........
I just can't walk or use my hands for anything meaningfull.(can't even pick my nose dang it!!)
So yeah, for no known reason I get this shit right out of the blue (Guillian Barre' snydrom) and it has knocked me for a loop.
Luckily it is recoverable.with intense physical and ocupational therapy for 2-3 weeks than a few months of maintenance type physical therapy.
I'm down now but not out by any means!
Right now I can't walk due to the nerve damaage, but am workingout ans can go a couple of feet with a walker.
My hands like my feet are numb and I can only do rudimentary tasks not requiring strenght or dexterity.
I am in the best Therapy hospital in the NW and they have seen plentuy of folks with GBS walk out therir doors so I am confident i'll be hitting the road myself pretty soon.
OK, it's late, I took a sleeping pill and had some hard therapy today so I'm crashing.
For those wanting to send cards I thank you and welcome them, but don't know the addy here.
I am in room 38B inthe rehabilition wing of the Good Samaritan hpospital in Puyallup,WA.
I'll be back on this WE.....
Oh yeah, thanks for the thread John and thanks for the thoughts guys, it really means a lot to me.
Now say a prayer for nurses world wide, they trully are angels of mercy!
