I've been in the hospital for the last 5 days. I got C.Diff, Sepsis, Severe Bronchitis and that combined with my spinal cord injuries proved quite overwhelming. I made it home on Saturday. I am doing better, I need time to recover.

Juat wanted to let you guys know. I had Oral Surgery 4 days earlier (3 last month) and some bacteria during the procedure may have been swallowed and entered my digestive system. My gums all sewn up, and getting really sick, it was a bit too much.
I had not been feeling good. I probably should have gone to see my doctor but they are all so overwhelmed, and I was afraid of catching something else. Bottom line, you , all of us must take care of ourselves, be vigilante and ready for whatever may come. Keep stocked up with electrolytes, potable water, and food supplies. I checked in on the forum while I was able to in the hospital. The forum is in such good hands, I had no worries. We have a great group of people here. You all make this forum a joyous place. Thank you for that, Thank you all for being the good, fine people that you are. :)

Good to know that you are feeling better. I wish you a speedy recovery and less trouble in the future. If you feel something is wrong, go and see the doctor. Better be safe than sorry. Take care, my friend! :)

Thank you all. This one hit me hard, it's amazing how much difference a day can make. I am definitely getting better. I am so drained though. I never had Sepsis before. That's something I wouldn't wish on my anybody. It's horrid. It will take a while till my system flushes itself out, but I know I am on the up swing.

This forum chugging along is a great feeling. ;)
