Gillien Barre

Did a call for a guy who had developed Gullien Barre Syndrome. 31 yrs old, he went from a healthy strapping guy to losing almost all his strength in his legs, starting to lose strength in his arms. Looked it up after getting back to the station. Most people eventually recover but still have residual effects. A lots of victims are put onto vents because of the rapid degredation of the the nervous system. I havent added anything in such a long time I canty remember anything else that happened. Oh well. They say the mind goes first.

Moving

Well.. it's official. I got the call I've been waiting for so I'm heading to Atlanta. Everything is falling into place quite nicely. Already have a place to stay, have met some cool folks down here, and my family will soon also be living a short distance away. The department that I got on with is very busy, and my time between the engine/ladder will be balanced well between the rescue.
I'm in the process of changing everything over to GaFFmedic so some links on other pages may take a little while to get all updated.
I start the department's academy on a fast-track in 3 weeks. Will be down here permanently in 2 weeks. I'm excited for all the challenges that I'm gonna have down here. Well, I'm heading back to Cincinnati... gotta get on the road before it gets to late. I hate rain.
