Survivor

The day I got sick, I was FINE! Worked, made dinner, even went to bed later than normal! Woke up that night with extreme vomiting and diarrhea. When I didn’t get up next day, hubs checked my temp -103- and I was non responsive. He called 911 and I was in ICU 4 days. I had septic shock from pseudomonas infection, pneumonia and C Diff. (Sepsis and Pneumonia, Sepsis and C. Difficile)

4 days later I was moved to a regular room then 7 days after went to rehab for 11 days. I am home now and it’s a very slow process to heal, but I am healing , and fully intact with no amputations or damaged organs, thank God
