I'm so sorry with everything you've been through. I myself was admitted last January into the hospital for delta covid, walking pneumonia, sepsis, and placed on a ventilator in induced coma for 6 days, 4 units of plasma through a plasma port, feeding tube, 6 IV's, almost losing my life several times. Life hasn't been the same for me. My husband also hasn't been the support that i needed and it put a huge strain on our marriage. I suffer with the worse pics "post intensive care syndrome". I have nightmares, bad flashbacks, the feeling of still being restrained to the bed, tubes in my throat, needles in my arms, noises of machines, like I'm still there and it's been a year January 10th. It's the hardest thing in the world to deal with and I wish it on nobody. I'm looking to talk to others to help me and me help them. I'm always here if you need someone to talk to. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need to talk. Take care and my prayers are with you.

Hello I had a very similar experience as you & would love to connect! I was in the ICU for severe double pneumonia, acute hypoxemic respirator failure, Sepsis, intubated, the whole 9 yards. Horrific hallucinations i was being tortured by my nurse & that she was trying to kill me. I can’t stop thinking about it & it’s affecting my whole life.
