Where I left off....Oh yeah spinal tap.

So they did the spinal tap and took me back to my room. As it so happened to be the first time that I wasn't surrounded be a or many loved ones. It had been all of 10 minutes and a random Dr. stuck his head into my room and said that he heard that there might be a gb case. As he's talking he was also closely looking at me and  noticed my breathing was becoming hindered. Then poof he was gone.  Just a bit after that my Dr. came in and said that I was headed for ICU so I had to shuffle everyone back because of all of the paperwork and the poa.  As I lay paralyzed realizing exactly why my mom had this specific fear in her eyes and same foe Chris I turned all of me over to him and I suddenly was at peace a knew that I could get them to go home and that I would be ready maybe not so awake when they came back the next day. So I made it through a week of ICU with IVIG treatments and then they felt that I was stable enough to go back to my own room.  Now the rest of the stay at this particular hospital(Metropolitan Methodist San Antonio, Tx) was horrific. I was treated as if the confirming spinal tap and the fact that I couldn't walk and the chronic pain on my spin wasn't real. One nurse said oh it cant be that bad just sit in a chair. Also they let me sit fecally impacted for 21 days that was immediately handled the first night I was in the care of Reeve's Rehabilitation. I am grateful that UHS and Reeve's were an option in a time when not much made any since. Learning how to walk again and do just basic things such as swallowing gave me an entirely  new perspective for those who have lost arms, legs and have moved forward with their lives. So we will end here, I was transferred from Metro Methodist to Reeve's and that's when I really saw some miracles take place.
