A year ago today on August 11, 2019 I woke up from an induced coma after becoming ill with Guillain Barre Syndrome. It’s crazy thinking about where I was a year ago and the shape that I was in. I almost didn’t make it but I’m still here today fighting to recover from GBS. Guillain Barre Syndrome started for me on August 1, 2019, last year. The day it changed my life forever.
I sit back often thinking about the past, thinking about the struggles and my condition I was in. There are things that will forever be engraved in my mind like the day GBS started, the day I was placed in a induced coma, the day I woke up from my coma, the first time being able to speak and my very first meal. My recovery from Guillain Barre Syndrome has been a long one but certain days each year will hold a special meaning to me.
I’m thankful I woke up. I’m thankful for my recovery so far and I’ll also be forever thankful if my recovery continues from GBS. Now it’s just time but I’m grateful on this day a year ago I opened my eyes. Guillain Barre Syndrome almost took me out for good but I won that fight. Now my fight to complete recovery continues. I’m hoping one day that will come no matter how long it takes. Time will tell. Time is just a number, it’s the end results that matter. 🙂
