Ray- since you brought it up, I’m still astonished and in awe that you beat sepsis- it’s a tribute to your medical providers, a tribute to your determination to closely follow the MD and Nursing instructions, a tribute to the infection control nurses and procedures in place at every inpatient facility you were in, and a tribute to your partner for her physical and mental support.
I’ve worked in acute care hospitals, rehab hospitals, outpatient clinics, and nursing homes. Sepsis is a killer and you beat it- wow….

Hi, entre (@centre)
It's probably just as well I didn't know what sepsis was when I went into the hospital. I might have grown a little suspicious, however, to see all those clinical types with their deeply furrowed brows hovering around me. "What gives?" I kept asking. "It's just a little 'something,' isn't it?" It was quite somedays later before I learned what sepsis was all about. I credit my partner, the morning I said I "felt a little funny"––"funny" in a way that was decidedly NOT funny––with insisting I phone 911. She probably saved my life.
