Survivor

The pain was unbearable it was worse then child birth. I had some pain in the morning but about mid afternoon it just hit so hard. I took pain reliefs but it turned into me vomiting with very high fever, I had the chills.

The ambulance was called and when they took me to hospital I waited close on 8 hrs before the doc came. I remembered I had to give urine for tests but nothing after that, so apparently from what my partner told, me they rushed me to the hospital where the doctor told the paramedics and nurses to take me straight up to theatre. He then operated on me needing to put in stints because I had kidney stones. (Sepsis and Kidney Stones) They put into a coma, telling my partner and children to pray as I went into septic shock and it was close to my organs shutting down. (Sepsis and Septic Shock) I was given antibiotics wit dose over 1000mg. After 4 days I woke up wanting to know what happened, where I was. Anyways 8 days later I was discharged and 7 yrs later and after 2 yrs was diagnosed with breast cancer, but I’M A SURVIVOR and thank the good Lord I’m still here.
