Sirene Paulse from Somerset West launched her book 72 hours changed my entire life<\/span> at the Air Force Base in Ysterplaat in May to accommodate family and friends residing in that area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a working career- driven independent woman she became a paraplegic within 72 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paulse worked as a store manager at Telkom for 24 years but has been medically boarded since September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mother of two daughters is currently studying for her B Com degree in marketing and suffers from the rare autoimmune disease neuromyelitis optica<\/em> (NMO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After having a bad cold in 2019 she struggled to get rid of needles and pins in her right leg and two years later she was a paraplegic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithout the help of my husband Patrick and my family I won\u2019t be able to stay positive. I stay busy with rehabilitation, my studies and spend time outdoors. My kitchen is my happy place and I\u2019ve shown improvement in all my physical challenges. Since the second major attack that left me a paraplegic I had no relapse. I wrote the book with a ghost writer Brandon Lottering and it took us six months,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paulse hopes her book helps others who face difficult challenges especially after all were hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the launch in Ysterplaat 65 of the 100 books were sold. The book costs R200 if you contact her on her Facebook page 72 hours changed my entire life<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
