Almost a year ago Davindra Sukhu moved from being a healthy working father of two when he was diagnosed with COVID-19 as well as Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) which resulted in him becoming paralysed and only able to move his fingers.
That was September last year. Today, 44-year-old Sukhu is able to walk albeit with the assistance of a cane, drive, and is back at work at Digicel where he is the head of the service delivery team for a few hours a day. Being paralysed for months and thinking initially that was it for him changed Sukhu’s perspective on life and now he is very careful of his actions. He is also more appreciative of people and accepts them with whatever faults they have. For him, telling his story is more about giving hope to someone else, especially as a man, since men are not known to openly discuss their life’s challenges.
