Hey all,

First off I want to thank all of you guys and gals for your positive thoughts and kind words. Dealing with this, i can use all the positive vibes I can get. Also want to thank AJ for letting you guys know what happened. I've been in here almost 3 weeks now and in the last few days i have regained enough movement in my fingers to one finger type messages out. I still am not able to walk and struggle to lift my arms over my head but every day i can do something i couldn't do yesterday. My recovery has been fast considering where i was 10 days ago and doctors are hoping for a much quicker recovery than what was initially figured. The best news is that the neurologist signed off on me today saying that i will make a full recovery and that there will be no permanent damage. I have started therapy and at this point just need to build up strength in all the areas that were affected. My goal and hope is to walk out of this hospital within weeks instead of months. I'll check in from time to time since i can now (slowly) type and update those who wish to know on my progress. Thanks again to all.
 
Amazing news. You are a strong person. We can't wait until you are fully healthy so we can give you all kinds of shit and make fun of you. The good news is you are still a faster typer than Mr. Monkey!
Keep up the positive updates.

Wow, it is great to see you.

So glad things are coming along, please be well moving forward.

:hurrah:
 
I was going to update but I see my bro did instead. I had told him you guys were 100% behind him. Latest news is he can now walk but not any great distances. It looks like he will make a full recovery. He is making progress every day, which is great. He now has a laptop and internet so he will probably pop on now and then. His hands are pretty much fully functional. He needs to get the strength back in his legs.

Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers, it has paid off.

Hey guys and gals,

Just thought i'd pop in and update the recovery. The great news is that i'm being discharged from the hospital on Friday. I will continue my rehab but from the comfort of my own house rather than the hospital. I was very unfortunate in getting this but extremely fortunate in my recovery as nobody in this hospital anyway, has ever been discharged less than two months after arriving with GBS. In fact the last person in here with this never regained her ability to walk and she was in her 20's so I am very grateful. I have fully functional limbs, just building my strength up, especially in my legs which will take some more time, but a 100% recovery appears in the cards.

Thanks again for all the kind words of encouragement.
