It’s been 7 months as of today since Guillain Barre Syndrome all started on August 1, 2019, day 214. Day 214 now in hospital/rehab! Wow.. It’s been a long journey so far, long journey still ahead but I’m getting better. It’s crazy to think I might possibly be getting discharged from The Stan Cassidy Rehabilitation Centre in 40 days. Exciting and overwhelming at the same time if I’m not ready and my home is not ready and accessible for me. Little stressed….
I look back at some of the pictures at the beginning when I became ill with GBS. I was in bad shape! Paralyzed head to toe and in an induced coma for 10 days. I look at where I am today and it’s amazing the progress I’ve made. Going from being unable to do anything to be able to do what I can today is unbelievable. With Guillain Barre Syndrome recovery is slow,. 7 months is a long time so far and it isn’t over yet. I’m thankful for where I am today and the wonderful nurses, doctors and all staff who helped get me here.
Hoping for great progress within the next 40 days that will help bring me home. Wish me luck! I’m going to need it. 🙂
