Hi again, Debbie (@dbeshears1)
I’m sorry I had to run off the way I did yesterday. I was off to meet yet another new doctor – this time the hospital’s wound care director. You know how those first meetings go – the doctor’s ol’ initial question: “So, tell me, how did all this start?” – and off you go! re-telling the story of what brought you to the doctor’s office in the first place.
The phrase you used to describe the experience of your kidney infection ( … took everything away from my legs… ) is a phrase I could easily use to describe this sepsis experience. That’s very much, if not precisely, what it has felt like: my legs had lost all their integrity. At least with my PN, I’d always felt my muscles had not totally abandoned me; they were only being contrarian, balking at being asked to prop me up the way I required.
There’s more I want to talk about, but I’m having to go slow. Sepsis has sapped my energy. May it suffice for the moment just to say it feels good to be back on Connect, even if able to visit only briefly and occasionally.
Super good wishes, Debbie!
Ray
Debbie!!!! (@dbeshears1), I'm so glad to be in touch with you again! I'm dashing out the door (dashing? read: wobbling) for an appointment with a wound specialist at a local hospital. I'll read your message more properly when I return. For the moment, however, I want you to know how much it has cheered me to find your post! Til later … –Ray
