After 60 days in the ICU at the Dr. George L. Dumont Hospital in Moncton I must say good bye as my journey as I recover from Guillain Barre Syndrome is now headed to Fredericton. Tomorrow I am heading to the Stan Cassidy Rehabilitation Centre where I will continue my recovery from GBS.
I have to say after 60 days of being here in the ICU I will miss everyone. Despite all the challenges I have faced and the condition I was in there’s a lot of good moments and laughs along the way. There was also a lot of tears and emotions as well. The nursing staff and the doctors in the ICU we’re amazing. They treated me like I was family as I was literally there for what seemed like a lifetime. I was even treated with lobster by one of the doctors there. I always joked with him saying where is my lobster and that’s all I wanted when I started eating for the first time again. Every time the hospital food came around it wasn’t lobster. To my surprise the doctor one day brought in lobster for me.
I’m really going to miss the nurses and everyone that took care of me in my time of need. They were amazing! I’m just sad to say goodbye but at the same time I am looking forward to the possibility of regaining my life back as I had to Fredericton.
Today is tough I have to say goodbye to Cheyenne, my kids and my family. My kids came in to see me as I will be heading to Fredericton first thing in the morning at 7am. It was the time that I didn’t want to end as I knew the moment I left Moncton I wasn’t going to see my children for a while. With the long drive and the kids schedule with all their activities it would be too hard to come up and visit. For the rest of the day I just concentrated on spending some time with them and enjoying every moment. It was a great day but a sad day at the same time. Tomorrow my recovery from Guillain Barre Syndrome continues in Fredericton.
