Well, walked with a frame from the gym back to my room, feel knackerd but good.
Hardtail or full-sus?
Singlespeed hardtail, natch
One step at a time...
Yep well done Paul, keep us updated
Get a move on, where supposed to be going out for drinks before xmas....
Wow - best of luck with the rehab
campylobacter ?Sickness bug on Wednesday, admitted to hospital friday
Death, I'll try my best
Scaredy, what's that?
diarrhoea/food poisoning bug (barbecues etc) that is associated with developing GB
Ah. Me, my wife and my father-in all had s&d, the docs in iccu said that they couldn't find anything that they can link the syndrome too.
Down to just one walking stick now. Be a longb time until I'm mended, but at least I can look to be discharged now.
Just hurry up and get well and stop messing around! Sounds like you might be home for Christmas?
Possibly some time next week, all being well
Don^t want to worry you, but I saw a program on "women that kill" and a wife poisoned her hubby with arsnic & they thought it was GB!!
That would explain it.
Walking with one stick now. Home for the weekend too. Can't wait.
Good luck. Take it easy - don't overstretch your energy.
Best of luck, just read up about it and wow. Healing vibes.
Discharged and home. Feels Kind of strange.
Excellent news. Enjoy your Christmas 😀
Huzzah..!
Merry Christmas..! 😀
Excuse the lowering of the tone here. Did any of you suffer from bouts of vomiting? I've been suffering from this roughly every other day. Not nice.
Cheers.
I don't remember having that problem so long after the initial illness.
Started about 2 weeks ago, so not had it since discharge from hospital. Doctor has prescribed me some anti sickness tablets and they seem to be doing the trick.
2nd blog installment for those who are interested

No idea on the vomiting front here either mate
Paulo - Bon Courage Dude......
Your trauma/illness has shown you many things which you have chosen to share with us.
Please keep blogging.

Well, I've kind of hit a brick wall, feel like I'm going backwards not forwards, the pain is worse than ever and I need to use my stick to ease the pain when walking any great distance. Feet still numb but very painful, hands feel like they have ball bearings in them and **** me I'm sore.
Having a few down days here 🙁
I'm sure they're pumping you full of conventional medicines but checked in with my freind who's a natural medicines guy and he says all antioxident things are good for anything immune system related so here is a cut and paste of the 4 natural things, don't think they'd interfere with your other medicines but probably better checking, hope this helps 🙁 Debs
[b]Wheat Grass:[/b] This is an antioxidant
[b]Hypericum[/b] which has specific positive effects on the myelin sheath of nerve fibres and is a great help in the case of Parkinson's and Bells Palsy both of which involve physical degeneration and or inflammation of the nerve fibres so not the same thing but similar????
[b]Mugwort[/b] which is another nervous system tonic which is used to support healing of any physical nervous system injury.
[b]Comfrey[/b] which is a well known support for healing of bones and connective tissue but also works to normalise other tissue in the body.
Don't give up. I have high expectations for your quest...

Keep going Paul. You WILL get better. It doesn't come overnight and I remember a few "false dawns" but everybody is rooting for you.
Cheers guys. Thanks once more for the sponsorship

I had good days followed by days of absolutely empty tank. I had to learn to measure out my efforts, still do actually. The worst bit was watching muscles atrophy.
Not much I can say that would be of comfort except that it can and does get better. Basically don't measure yourself against others, just against yourself.
I still manage a couple of 24hr solos each year and a few 12 and 8 hrs - although no-one would accuse me of being fast 🙂
man i thought this was something to do with the guitar 😳 i hope you get well soon paulosoxo.good luck and you'll be out on the trails in no time 🙂
Chin up Paul - perhaps you could do a daily blog or something that people could log in to and comment
Well, managed a 6 mile ride to the cafe and back, coffee, panini, sun and wheels. Does it get any better?
Nice one! That's six miles more than i can manage at the moment. You reckon you'll be ready for the cyclone?
Hell yeah,
Great stuff. No cake at the cafe?
I decided to skip the cake
So you're not completely better then 😉
Was it the one t'up Waskerley way?
Nah, the snow goose down by the beach. Better? Getting there. Numb feet are annoying. X
Good to hear that.
Just don't be tempted into overdoing it.
😀
