In November of 2021 I called into work after feeling the chills and abnormally exhausted. I ignored the symptoms for a day and told everyone I would go to the immediate care right away. I did not do that. I went a day later when my employer noticed I was confused and not making much sense. I was walked to the immediate care next door by my boss. I remember the the waiting room of the immediate care and then waking up in the ICU about 3 weeks later. During that time I was in a coma, living what felt ... Read Full Story
