Messages from Project Mannager

I had suddenly lost consciousness back in August 2018. And woke up only after four long months. It is a time that did not exist in my life.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I had realized is that I could not move my arms nor my legs. Actually, I could not move any part of my body at all (except blinking). I could not even talk as I was under the respirator.

This is when I had been told a shocking news that I had a severe form of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

It has been good couple of years since then. As today, I am out of respirator and I can speak. Movements are back in some part of my body such as arms and a bit on the fingers. I guess I am processing myself better than before. Still, I need a powered wheelchair to move myself around.

Currently, I am engaged on accessibility projects, receiving various kind of support, and trying to extract something useful from my own experience of being unable to move or speak.

I felt in my skin how accessibility is key for disabled people to be able to reconnect with society. It is a must, and needed to be improved.
