August 19th

 Hello Everyone!

Today marks a very special day for me. 2 years ago today I almost died from Sepsis.

I still have trauma from that Sunday I was brought in by ambulance. I also still suffer from survivor guilt that this illness ultimately contributed in the death of my mama just a month prior. 

2023 was a challenging year for me to say the least, but I feel so blessed and thankful to still be here. I still have complications from sepsis, but I'm no where near as sick as was before. I fought hard to get back a sense of life before sepsis.

I will always be grateful to God, my Aunt Dot and the medical staff at hospital. My aunt was the one that made me call 911 to get help. I was so delirious from my fever I was losing track of time and almost my life. I've shared my story over the past 2 years here on my blog. 

Today I'm feeling blessed and thankful to be able to still be here.

What a scary and terrible ordeal! So glad you're still with us Pilar! Do continue to take good care of yourself and stay healthy. Don't be afraid to wear a mask. Covid is still raging even though no one talks about it anymore and even a mild infection can cause so many health problems.
