Hee hee. Great progress on weaning off of the ventilator. Keep it up. I really enjoyed looking at all the photos posted on your blog. I'll ahve to get some hints on hiking locations from you. Just to let you know, I reduced my hours to be able to walk my son to and from school. He is 6 and in the first grade, already! Can you believe it?! So when I am not at work, I am running around with my son to football practice and games . . . a bunch of 5 to 7 year olds in full pads . . . it's a field of bobble-heads. They are so cute.

I am glad that you are doing better and pray that your recovery will not take too long. Don't worry about the office - just take care of yourself right now and don't try to come back before your Doctor says. We had a dessert Retirement gathering today for Becky Mora. Things are pretty much the same here at DTSC. I was told today that 30 DTSC employees throughout the State are getting ready to retire. Keep your spirits up, as the Lord is watching over you. I will be checking the Blog to see how your doing. We are all praying for your complete recovery."

I think about you daily, the battle your in and know you have a lot of determination and fight inside. I remember one of the first questions you asked me in a staff meeting was “Why do we need a new supervisor? We already know what to do and have the authority (power) to do it.†Yes, you do have power, determination, and a winning attitude. I know that you will use this and the support of your family and friends on your road to a full recovery. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

"So Pismo, you may not remember this but I'm a physical therapist. That means my jokes get even worse. Your 30 days of hell are almost over, and you'll soon begin 60 days of physical therapy (true purgatory!). GBS sucks, most people get it from eating the food at Circus Circus!! You probably had it in the past, and just didn't know it!! Hang in there and buckle up for a bit longer of a ride, cause it's gonna take awhile. Oh, and if your therapist isn't making you tired be sure to call them a wuss!! It works wonders."

As I told people about your situation I found that two of my friends have had Guillain Barre Syndrome. I could tell from the look in their eyes that GBS is very difficult. But, they are both proof that recovery takes place. One of them is well past retirement age but the other one travels the world as part of his job. He suggested recently that he and I run a 5k event sometime. Let me know when you can have visitors. Noel"
