You are completely right! It is serious business and I thank you so much for continuing to share your experience in spite of...... So often we get on here and are caught-up in the beauty of the "good" outcome because much of the time we believe that all will go according to plan. However, you telling your truth has and will help someone properly weight all the options. Datgurlme you may not realize it today or even months from now, but women like you, HONEST and UNSCRIPTED women like yourself give us the truth about surgery that you just don't get and I thank you. May God continue to heal you and bless you abundantly mama!

I'm so glad you are feeling better. I can sympathize as I also had sepsis from an IV line and almost died. It took me a full year to recover and feel like myself. Through all of that did you get the physical results you had hoped for?

Ok, since I have been trying to recover and after talking to my mom and my son whom was by myside the whole time. It is really just hitting me just how bad I was. I got out the hospital Friday and went to my first follow up yesterday. While talking to the doctor i cried It really is hitting me I could have died. Totally Crazy!! I went in with bad pains. When I got to the ER I had a fever of 103+ throught my first at least 5 days it was hard to bring my fever down. I can remember them saying I was septic I had septsis infection I didnt even believe I was that bad although I was dehydrted, I ended up having my liver and kidneys trying shut down on me... I dont drink it smoke... I needed a blood transfusion I got a blood transfusion. I think they stopped at 3 bags. I still didn't understand the sepsis part the one of the doctors/surgeon came in to see me one day and told me that I needed to be rushed to surgery and if i didnt go asap then it may be to late. After surgery I was told they removed infection from my butt and hip. I have 4 or 5 incisions from where they went in the diffrent spots.I ended up staying in the hospital for 2 and half weeks. Various antibiotics medicines Im so glad to at least be home. Im not back to my regular life I have a wound pump that's attached to me and I'm not quite for how long I have home health nurse thats coming out every 2 days. As I lay here now I thank GOD to be alive this was definetly not worth my life. Everyone just research what you are doing and make sure it is worth it. Majority of people will be fine and recuperate but do you want to be in that minority. I DIDN'T...

Just praise Jesus you are alive and healing. I pray that you continue to get better. The doctors still haven't been able to tell you how you became septic and where the infection may have come from or started? I remember you stating that it was the fat that was infected. Do you assume where you got your surgery done was the cause, not clean, aftercare nurses not clean, etc?

OMG thanking God that you pulled out ok... do you think you could have done anything different or could it have just been that your own body rejecting the surgery performed on you... or are you thinking it was Dr. M wrong doing....

Hi everyone.. Just getting up enough strength to update everyone. I have been in the hospital for the last 2 weeks.. I came in to hospital with excruciating pain 2 weeks ago and im still here but should be going on home soon. They did a emergency surgery to temove some infection. I have 4 incisions they added to help me drain. I will upload some incision picks they are not pretty. They were packing the holes they put in and today I allowed them to put in a drainage system. A wound pac to help me some. Can't tell you what went wrong just can say this has been a long 2 weeks. When I first got to the hoapital I was told that I possibly wouldn't make it though this and the way I felt for a second I may have believed it. But Im here updating yall and I know the devil is a liar. Im better and will be back to normal soon.
