Anniversary date

Five years ago today I became ill with Guillain Barre-luckily my Neurologist, who knows my husband and I diagnosed me within 5 minutes of seeing me. I had started having symptoms the day before, and the day after I started plasma pheresis treatments, and I was hospitalized for almost 9 weeks, and I was paralyzed from the neck down. I did not need to be vented, thank heavens, but I did have serious problems with my sodium dropping. I took outpatient therapy for 8 weeks, and I am back to work part time as a Realtor, and I appreciate every moment of the day. I have some residuals of numbness and tingling sensations in my legs and arms, but I can deal with that. I think I am still healing, and I do take much better care of myself. I am a type personality and was working between 60 and 70 hours a week, helping with our 2 young grandchildren, entertaining, volunteering, and sleeping about 5 hours a night. Since my illness, my husband now has a very rare muscular disease which he is dealing with, and we have lost alot of dear friends to cancer, so we both look at our life as wonderful and take one day at a time. This board is fantastic and was such a tremendous support system to me. I don’t get on often enough, but I think that is a good sign, but I certainly care and support all that are here. Best of luck to everyone who has this dreaded disease.
