@robert6767
I so appreciate you sharing your story. I'm glad that you found Connect and have a place to share your experiences. You are correct when you say that it is very difficult to go through a life-altering experience as you did and not find other survivors to share with. As you have shared your experience you will undoubtedly help others.
As I read about you spending several days in ICU I would suggest you also take a look at discussions we have at Connect on Post-ICU experiences. Here are the links to those discussions:
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/post-intensive-care-syndrome-pics-lets-talk/ and
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/what-did-you-find-most-surprising-once-you-were-out-of-the-icu/. In these discussions you will meet an ICU nurse, @andreab. You will find her very responsive to your experience and your current feelings.
Please feel free to share in these discussion groups as well.
