In August of 2022, I was diagnosed with a ruptured appendix, peritonitis, and sepsis, the symptoms being masked by taking 20.milligrams of prednisone. (Sepsis and Appendicitis) It is very rare for a woman of 70 to have their appendix burst, but fortunately I had a very skilled surgeon who was able to remove it laparoscopically, and I have no deficits from being septic or any lingering emotional issues, most likely because I was unaware of how sick I was.

The doctors let me know that without treatment, I would have been dead in a day, maybe two from septic shock. (Sepsis and Septic Shock) After reading many of the stories here, I thank God that he brought me through unscathed, and for the excellent surgeon and medical care received during that time.
