One of my best friends, Bryan Mcgovern is back on the air on Sirius radio after being completely out of commission for over a year with Guillian-Barre Syndrome. B-mac offers a good explanation tribulations and triumphs in his blog.

Basically, he went from being a healthy guy, to being completely paralyzed in the course of a few days. Visiting him in the hospital during those months was scary – he couldn’t speak, couldn’t even move a finger, lost a lot of weight, couldn’t breathe on his own, was in a ton of pain.

Bryan is such a strong person though, and he fought through it. He slowly was able to move a finger, then a hand, then was able to sit upright. Each little step I saw made me immensely hopeful for a recovery. When he was able to whisper his first words he used to talk about how great it’s going to be when he can get back on the air. Well you did it buddy! Soon enough you’ll be back in the city and we’ll be rockin and rollin   Your hard work has been such an inspiration to me, and now that you are back on the air you are inspiring so many more. Case in point:
