[QUOTE="Scott DeWar, post: 6060815, member: 49929"] [b]It has been a year now . . . . .[/b] This past Sunday marked the anniversary of my 8th surgery. Today is the anniversary of having awoke from my sickness. 16 December was when I was able to talk, The tracheotomy was pulled out. 19 December I was 'kicked out' of the ICU to step down nursing. A lot has happened over the last year, and there is still a long ways to go. I have reread the thread and seems I never said what happened, so I will put in a spoiler block as to what happened, so those who don't want to know have that option. [sblock] Initial diagnosis: diverticulitis Suddenness of onset caused my intestines to rupture and the toxic and bacteria filled contents to spill in the sterile environs of the abdominal cavity and it mingled with my blood. the intestines are extremely vascular so this happened rapidly, complicated by high blood sugars. Between 30 October and 14ish December The following occurred: 8 surgeries with 10 procedures 16 days straight of fevers, many times peaking above 105 degrees F. Because my abdomen was split wide open they could not just dunk me, they had to take my blood out of a foot, cool it and put it back in to cool my core temp. 2 days of dialysis- kidneys shut down due to going into shock Heart kept at aerobic rates for 3 1/2 weeks to maintain blood pressure, due to shock 14 Liters of fluids injected in to flush out toxins-I am told I looked like the stay-puffed marshmallow man. a whole lot of antibiotics [I]And a partridge in a pear tree![/I] yes I still have my sense of humor!
