Spotted : Today at 6am, I woke to a day that I was told two years ago would never be able to happen.Two years ago, I had contracted Guillian Barre Syndrome from a cold that had mutated leaving me completely paralyzed from the neck down. Guillian Barre Syndrome is extremely painful as it eats away the coating on your nerves and interrupts the signals those nerves send to your brain. Exposed nerves are extremely painful. This shut everything off like a light switch. Arms, legs, gone. I was sent to 8w at Hotel Dieu, where I met the two most amazing nurses of my life, Emily and Lori, who made my journey into hell that much more bearable. They were where I found my strength to move, to try, and after to weeks I was sent to Malden Park for rehab. Two and a half months of intense physio therapy at Malden Park, Thank you, Anita, Majjic, and many many others, I left barely walking under my own power but not before meeting Carla. Her solution to my problem of seven steps into my house was simple. Spend $10,000 on a chair lift, or sell the house. I wasnt getting any better according to her, so to this woman, F you. So today as I prepared on the morning of my first 5k that I was told I would never be able to do, I say thank you to all those who helped push me from Hotel Dieu, Malden Park, and the people who watched me at work recover. To those who need it, NEVER lose hope, push and dont give up. There is light even in the middle of the tunnel. Find the strength.
