[QUOTE=trevawoman]soapy,

My dad was released yesterday after 4 IVIG treatments during a 7 day hospital stay in Jackson. He was diagnosed only 10 days ago with what doctors call a mild case of GBS. I am scared beyond words. Any words of wisdom?

Thanks![/QUOTE]

It is a scary thang! I’m not really that wise.;) , but I fool some of the people some of the time. I haven’t been on this board very long and there are people much more knowledgeable than me on the subject..and I usually stick my foot in my mouth. Lookin back I worried about things way too much. Some things we have no control over, and its no use wasting energy on it. I found that God usually works it out anyway, in spite of your efforts/worry. You Dad will prolly be the same, worry worry worry.. work, money, medical bills, etc. it can drive u nuts if you let it.
We need lots of assurance, or I did.:eek: The other thing, I think I pushed too hard trying to get my strength back. I was a go getter with a job, school, all that. All that stress and a Flu shot is what I think triggered mine. I was bound and determined to be back to normal in a year.. Well hun, it just don’t work that way with this stuff… Get him interested in something to pass the time, you can’t just dwell on your problems/health. Be thankful it wasn’t any worse than it was, and pray that it don’t get any worse, only better. anywho, my prayers go out to ya..
If you got some time to kill, this is war i walked into the tavern and met shannon and the gang, she is from tn, but now lives in some country called chicago. its down the page just a bit.. stay in touch..

I’m sorry to hear your dad is having a hard time today. Keep in mind he prolly feels frustrated, and also guilty for the burden he has become to his friends and family.. That used to bug me alot. I wish my wife and I had gone to see a phsy aw, , a crazy doctor, when it first started.. You go thru all these stages, ya know.. Like.. denial, guilt, frustration, anger, acceptance and so one.. Start working on yours and his mental attitude.. It gets better, just look back a week or 2, and u will see he is making progress..
Be strong for him, everything will work out.. Don’t drive yourself crazy worring about him.. do something to give yourself and his wife a break..
God Bless

[FONT=”Comic Sans MS”]Just wanted to say hello to you, I’m from Ky. I live in a rural area of the state, about 45 miles southeast of Louisville. I’ve been to Tenn. several times, especially Clarksville as to which my brother lived there when he was stationed at Fort Campbell. But more or less just wanted to say hello ![/FONT]

Hi Treva!

I’m a Smyrna girl, but I live in Chicago now (and hating it). I’m hoping to come home soon, and hopefully soapy and his wife will want to get together next time I’m home since they’re also in Smyrna. Where’s Trenton? I’ve never heard of it!

Best wishes to your father!

Hi, I’m from Woodbury, a little town southeast of Murfreesboro, and about and hour from Nashville. I’ve been married for almost 47 years to the most wonderful, loving guy on the planet! I have 4 children, 15 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandson. I’m recovering from GBS and just living day to day, trusting God that the next day I’ll be a little stronger, and a little more energetic. Tell me about yourself. God bless you.

I’m from East Tennessee–Clinton. I just found this forum. It is so good to know others who are fighting the same battles!

[QUOTE=trevawoman]Just wondering!

Thanks in advance!

Hey Joan,
Sold our house in Knoxville last fall, and bought a cabin in Sevierville.
What is your neuro’s last name?
