Hi, ya Peach,
Hope I'm still kicking at 83. You must be a very determined lady or maybe just plain stubborn.
I knew a lady and her kids were planning her one hundredth birthday. The lady said don’t bother planning anything I’m not gonna live to be 100. She said I'll live to 99 and that’s it and that’s exactly what she did. She was the most stubborn lady I ever met but she was a great cook, I loved her chocolate gravy.
Anyway, I’ve never had a urinary track infection or sepsis but my father had quite a few. He was paralyzed from the neck down and para & quadriplegics are prone to UTIs.
The only advice I have really is to drink more fluids mostly water drink until you can’t drink anymore and then drink some more and prevent those UTI’s. A lot of people swear by cranberry juice but when I had a kidney stone and told the doctor ”good thing I’ve been drinking lots of cranberry juice” and he told me ”the only thing cranberry juice will do is make you fat.” So there’s one doctors opinion. do you know what type of bug you got? my dad usually always had a gram-negative Pseudomonas infection and was usually treated with I.V. Gentamicin.
Good luck hope you’re completely well soon,
Jake
