The following is an account of what happened to me from March 10th, 2012, up to the time of writing this story, and how I survived. On this day my life changed forever, and it has never been the same. It turned my world upside down and my life is definitely different now. I was diagnosed with Guillain–Barré syndrome. I’d never heard of it, even with over forty years nursing experience, and it ambushed my life, physically, mentally, socially and spiritually. It came with no warning. It’s hard to describe what happens when you get Guillain-Barré Syndrome. I have tried to, and this is it.
No warningI first have to say HOW COULD YOU HAVE BEEN IN NURSING FOR THAT MANY YEARS AND NOT KNOWN ABOUT GBS? Second, this should have just gone to a Vanity Press, you survived, you got it off your chest by writing about it. No style, not really interesting. I'm glad you're well, but don't think you can count 'writer' as another career choice.
