@erikwebb Hi, I’m Sharie, just found this forum. My husband would love to talk to you.
He had a botched back surgery , an error during the back fusion. The general surgeon, who opened his stomach, to access the back for our back surgeon, mistakenly severed an artery . After spending hours and many surgeons, they saved his life, but he was in the ICU on ventilator after for 2 days. Since this surgery, and basically complete blood transfusion, he has developed sepsis, blood infections, on 3 seperate occasions. He had to retire early at 59, after a long career , and being a highly energetic, and hard worker, and loving father & husband. He know has these bouts everyday, where he will start feeling sweaty, and need to just go to bed, and shut down. Numerous times a day . He needs lots of sleep. Is having memory issues, that are concerning, and on and off depression.
No one can find anything wrong with him. As he was very active, before all of this, it gets very frustrating for him.
At least I stumbled across this whole PICS, topic. And a place to share.
Thank you for posting here, for him to see.
