I have a ex co worker, they moved to Scottsbluff a month ago, and at first they thought she had a stroke, she 46 yrs old, but now they are saying it's West Nile that is causing her parylsis and not a stroke, she's on a feeding tube as she can't swollow and a trach so that she can breath. She's been fighting it for about three weeks now, and has a long rode of recovery ahead of her, sometime next week they are going to start her on PT, said it'll take 6 months to a year before she'll be back to almost normal.
I feel lucky that I was only in the hospital 3 days with menegitis when I had the west nile.
But the scarey thing about west nile is that it stays in your system, and it can flare up at any time.
I so need to go and get a haircut, but mines not that long lol.
