Survivor

Hi, my name is Michael this is my story regarding sepsis, I went into hospital on the 3rd of August 2023 for major abdominal surgery after my 1st operation I got discharged, then I was rushed back into hospital were they traced sepsis. (Sepsis and Surgery) This ended up with me bed ridden for 7 months and another 3 operations this was a scary experience as I still ask myself how I got through this. Every night I went to sleep I said to a nurse, I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow as I can’t live like this anymore.

The fight in me was rapidly gone but I kept saying to myself I need to be here for my son, I got discharged from hospital 2nd February 2024 I’m now on recovery and can’t believe how far I’ve came from that nightmare, back at the gym 5 days a week, loving life again which looked impossible a few months ago.
