Aletheia C.

It was a hot day in NM. I had only been in town a few months; still getting to know everything. I took a needed shower in the public facility I was at and borrowed a shaver to shave my legs. A couple hours later I felt horribly ill, like I had the worst flu. It came on suddenly; I couldn’t explain it.
I somehow made it to where I was staying; spent the night flat barely moving.

Someone convinced me to seek help, so I went to an Urgent Care. My fever was 103°F so they called transport. I lay in a hospital bed receiving IV antibiotics for a week. They mentioned sepsis but didn’t really discuss it. They wanted me positive and hopeful I guess. They then thought I might have MRSA and broke out the hazmat restrictions. (Sepsis and MRSA)

I lay in bed, prayed, focused on Jesus Christ and LIVING.  I did live: sepsis was still listed as active cause I was not the same after. I have lived another year. I could have run around made it full of medical treatments. I knew life was short, so I focused on LIVING. I did everything I could; I lived Bucket List!!!! Music, performing on the town main stage, art, volunteering, festivals and GOOD TIMES.

Getting and setting up my apartment. Falling in love again and marrying him!!
Now the body is almost kaput.
I GOT NO REGRETS.
