‼️UPDATE‼️
In mid November I got extremely sick and was taken to the urgent care where they weren’t too sure what was going on with me. They found out that I was negative for the flu/COVID. However, they drew blood and found out that my white blood cell count was extremely high. From there they said I needed to be taken to the emergency room. Not knowing what was happening to me and why I was feel the way I did was extremely frightening and frustrating. Upon mass amounts of tests and blood work they found out that I had contracted a staph infection that had turned me septic. I was hospitalized for a week and a half with a mass amount of antibiotics and continuous blood work to make sure I was getting better. Now that it has been a couple months, I figured I would provide this update to you all. I can’t thank my family, friends, the medical teams, and most importantly my wife for all their help through this process.
I am extremely happy to announce that I am now off of my PICC line (intravenous medicine) and am down to just an oral antibiotic and a suppressant. Now I know that the road still has some things that need to be addressed, but for the time being I am able to get back to “normal” and start to work back on becoming the best version of myself.
I want everyone to know that no matter what your setback is, that you are not alone. There are people out there dealing with issues daily and if you ever need someone to talk to that all you have to do is reach out. There are tons of people who are willing to listen. Keep your head up and keep working towards your goals!
