I developed
Guillain-Barré Syndrome as a reaction to a flu shot. When I arrived at
Potomac Valley I needed TOTAL care. I couldn’t feed or dress myself nor
take care of any of my personal hygiene. I also couldn’t walk or
transfer from bed to chair or wheelchair without assistance. I
immediately began rehabilitation through Potomac Valley’s Wellness
Roadmap program—initially from my bed. I progressed over time to having
rehab in the gym and from wheelchair to walker to using arm braces.
My recovery feels miraculous. I walked independently at my son’s
wedding, acquired a new puppy and am back driving myself everywhere. One
frequent stop is back to Potomac Valley to continue to show them how
great I’m doing and say thanks!
