Have you checked out Sepsis Alliance? They have a lot of good information about Sepsis and recovery. I had sepsis in 2022 which came from a perforated bowel during a hernia surgery. I became very ill and was in the hospital for 33 days, two weeks of it in the ICU. During my time in the ICU I also had pneumonia due to aspiration from being intubated. I was a mess. Recovery is a slow process, so give yourself time and grace. I feel like I am still in recovery as I fight fatigue and confusion from time to time.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

Wow, you are definitely a fighter and I'm happy you made it through your terrible ordeal. It really makes what I went thru seem small in comparison. If I may ask how long did you fight any shortness of breath, and fatigue. It seems I can't walk across the yard without needing to sit down, and I have always been so active.
