Mornin' BCT, and hope everyone here as a great day.
Pneumonia is no joke and has to be treated immediately. I barely made it out alive myself and was comatose for a week because my dumb ass didn't seek help even when it was obviously crippling me. Taken years to recover from my body being ravaged by it and other complications. We lose a lot of our brightest and finest public figures to Pneumonia. That shit has no discrimination for class or wealth when it comes to taking us folk of color. I'm glad you had more sense than I did, and you're recovering.
Thanks guys. My recovery is coming along great. And I went outside for the first time in 40 ish days which was amazing.
Long story short
- I go to the hospital. I had to spend seven hours in pain in the ER. A nigga had to be a drama queen to get a room.
- I get transferred because they wanna do a semi risky procedure at another hospital, I refused it because I assumed it was just pneumonia due to the symptoms and didn't want a central line because they are risky.
- it's pneumonia. I'm treated and released. But day later crisis pain comes back. I go to same hospital with shit ER but they discharge me because I'm not "sick", luckily my primary care provider is down the street. I have to get a letter from her stating I'm not a drug user and my character is good. That I've never even asked for narcotic scripts (I have not actually)
- they eventually let me in, apparently it's too late and my high pain level makes me go delirious. I get transferred to another better hospital and get put into a coma. My organs take a beating. Doctors have Lil faith because my hemoglobin is barely 3. I'm on hemodialysis.
- I wake up. Get updated and freak out. My particular case of crisis is 1 in thousands of survival apparently.I'm very lucky
The details closer to the end are fuzzy to me cause I was put into the coma but from what people say that's what happened.
I graduated while all this happened. I worked too hard and it showed. This is a second chance for. I'm gonna take things more easy. Thinking of buying a ps4 with graduation gifts I receive. I never treat myself.
EdibleKnife tell me more about your struggle.
