[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 397161, member: 484"] june one of the highlights of the trip to germany is that i got to spend several days with several of my cousins, one of them, bernd. Twenty years ago, he started to feel weak, had a hard time with walking, etc. went to the doctor and was told it was most likely the flu. decided to go home on the 4th day after diagnosis, to get some rest. his wife called him after lunch, and when he couldnt even pick up the phone, so he knocked it off and tried to talk, only to fine he couldnt. to make a long story short, he was finally diagnosed, after being put on a vent, with Guillain-Barré syndrome. interestingly enough, there is at least one regular poster here that has also been hit with this "syndrome", but lucky for him, he got early correct diagnosis and treatment, so while the effects were bad, the long term effects were not too bad. but not so for bernd. fast forward to last week. while the problem has left him with a ton of disabilities,[B][SIZE=3] he instead focuses on what he can do instead of what he cant.[/SIZE][/B] and while he can walk somewhat, he spent a lot of time in the wheelchair. While he has very limited control of is hands, he manages pretty well on his own. So the computer idea could be something with a lot of merit. but the biggest thing is to focus on what he can do, not what he cant. one more thing. accept what has happened to him. he has. and while you dont have to focus on it, at the same time dont pretend it doesnt exist. There is nothing more obvious to someone in his condition than someone getting bent out of shape pretending everything is normal of course, d always knew you were a good kid even before the shooting:wink2: d [/QUOTE]
