I've been wondering where Esme is, thinking maybe I just haven't been traveling the same threads as her. Just now I decided to stop waiting to see her around, and searched for her. She hasn't posted since March 6th. I'm going to PM her as well, but in case I don't hear back, is Esme okay? Anyone know her in real life?
Hello my dear AN family!!!!I am finally getting better. I have had a rough road. I became septic from liver abscesses that had an initial 2 liter output soon followed by another 2 liters....for the initial volume of 4 liters!!!!!!! I coded, was intubated and critical on pressers for a couple of weeks. I had a total of 10 drains draining my liver.....sigh
Wow, I am speechless. You must have one hell of a fighting spirit. Glad to know you are on the mend.
Someday, when you feel better, you can write an article about what it's like for a nurse to go through an experience like that. I hope your caregivers are giving you the same quality care you have always provided to others.
Take care.
