Thank you. I wish I could take a break. Never ending 360 BS to deal with. No breathers.
Can't seem to outrun this black cloud over my head. And on top of my medical illnesses, drs. meds interactions, etc. etc. my partner went into septic shock 6/22 and they took him in for Emer surgery. He had Necrotizing Faciltis, that flesh-eating bacteria. He was critical condition and we almost lost him It spread so fast and was so severe they took his whole lower back side, perinum area, buttocks and down the right leg to the bone and muscle and had to be air-lifted from Erie ICU at allegheny in Pitts. Where he remained on a ventilator, colostomy bag, feeding tube, catheter and near death. It was so overwhelming. Our lifes (his almost taken) were turned upside down in an instant. He's coming along, still critical and receiving wound care. I was told if i hadn't taken him to the ER that morning before work he would have been dead by 4 p. That's how severe and fast moving it was. The bacteria from hell. its like something out of a horror flick. A frigen nightmare that I can't seem to wake up from. I work ft too so taking a break isn't an option but BREATHING and prayers are, Thank you and have a good day.

I guess my post was out of the topic realm. Sorry.

Maria. I don't even know what to say! To go through something like that is unbelievable!! How does a person get that? Of course you have my prayers. Is he still in the hospital? I know how suddenly things can happen. My husband, in 1999, who never had headaches, got a headache one Sat. A.M., he said it wasn't too bad & would lay down, then it got BAD, I called 911 and then got ready to drive to the hospital. When I got there, they said they were going to drill a hole in his head to drain it! I'm like "What the Hell?" OMG! Then he went into a coma and the next day he had brain surgery. Into another coma, he didn't know me when waking up. Eventually he did, but never could bare weight again so never walked, & he was 6'2", in a wheelchair, the nursing homes were terrible, we tried 3. This was in Madison, WI. I quit my job, brought him home & cared for him for 10 years when he passed away. It was hard work, & never was really the man I knew, couldn't talk well. but yet I could see the real him I knew inside. Life is full of surprises for sure. Let me know how things are with him. And you. Take care, Nancy
