Christopher Cross

[Help!I'maRock!]

Dear Friends, I want to clarify what my situation is, so there’s no confusion and also to shed light on a rare medical condition in hopes that others may benefit. I was not paralyzed by Covid; the virus induced a very rare syndrome called Guillain-Barré. Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a disorder in which the immune system attacks nerve cells in your peripheral nervous system. GBS resulted in a paralysis of my legs, part of my face, and a numbness in my fingertips. It has been a terribly difficult situation, but I’ve been fortunate to have excellent medical care and I’m slowly making progress. I’m working with a physical therapist to build strength in my muscles and eventually walk.

Being in a wheelchair has taught me a lot about patience and resilience, but especially to count my blessings. I’m grateful for all of you who have supported me with your well-wishes and prayers. Believe me, they’ve had a positive effect. Thank you, again, for being there.

Love, Christopher

Guillian Barre Syndrome is no joke. A friend had it a couple of years ago and it took an army of clinicians to get him walking again. He was last seen running marathons, so there is hope.

Love sweet black kitties but I can't endorse fascist imagery like this.

Nice! growing up my favorite was always German chocolate cake too....it's almost like me and Chris are brothers from another

German chocolate is divine. Of that there can be no argument.

Is it just me, or is Chris Cross looking at lot like Wallace Shawn these days?

This is excellent news ! The fact thatr Chris can make a smile puts a smile on my face and He being rusty on Guitar is still better than 99 percent of the people out there. His suncshine drawing is like a ray of hope....so fitting !

that one too...it was 2001 at the Hacienda. A patron had their little black dog with them and Chris caught a glimpse of the two and that was when the photographer snapped the photo. When asked years later about taking the picture the photographer said he had noted how Chris kept looking at the puppy and smiling so he thought "I better get my camera ready"

a classic photo for sure
