Sepsis can kill anyone within 12 hours time.
Abcesses are nothing to fuck around with as they can easily become much larger, more painful and even more dangerous to your life even within a single day’s time.
And there’s that whole very real possibility of them causing sepsis in you.
I had sepsis before due to a bad leg infection and it was not a fun recovery.
I was in the hospital for almost 7 days on IV antibiotics and was given a regular breathing tube around my nose that you often see old people that are/were smokers wearing and it was because one of the nasty things that sepsis does due to it being such a vile and vicious infection is it makes your body’s immune system overreact and that results in all your major organ systems including kidneys and lungs being attacked which leads to the five symptoms of sepsis happening to you over time:
1. Decreased urination
2. Shortness of breath
3. Confusion
4. Fever and chills
5. Fatigue
For me myself personally I didn’t even notice the shortness of breath which they told me I had, but I did notice the other symptoms.
When trying to admit myself to the hospital I’m lucky I wrote down the correct information on the form as the girl at the front desk later informed me all that was coming out of my mouth in response to her questions was nonsensical gobbledygoop which I found to be extremely strange because in my mind at least I was making perfect sense but see?
It all goes back to that confusion sepsis can give you by screwing up your organ function via the attacks on it.
Also the fatigue from sepsis is no joke either.
It’s not at all comparable to a full day of school or even wage cucking, it’s far far worse and isn’t cured by sleep or rest…but rather if it’s cured at all by A LOT OF FUCKING REST!
Combined with deep breathing exercises and walking as much as you can daily before slumping back down into bed or the nearest chair etc.
It took me a month in a half to get back to feeling normal after clearing the bug but I was informed by a great nurse practioner that I’d been seeing that I got very very lucky as some people take six months or longer to recover from the fatigue after effects of sepsis if that is they recover from that fatigue at all.
