December 19
This is my doctor, a picture from at least before 2005. He has Far less hair now, but he’s still a cutie and my favorite kind of doctor. He never overreacts and he wants what you want. I went in to check that for 100% sure I wasn’t contagious. 100% my doctor said, you are not contagious.
UPDATE! I left the hospital thinking I’d had a bladder infection which made me vulnerable to flu.
No he said, they have no idea what was the source of your infection because it was everywhere, which is what made you so sick. They treated it in the drip with multiple broad spectrum antibiotics and antivirals for the flu and you got better.
About this pervasive septic infection (a much more dangerous condition than I thought I had), why did it happen? What could I do differently? Apparently No One Has Any Idea! My doctor says drink more water.
I’m going to write this here so it’s somewhere, from my discharge papers. “You were hospitalized for Sepsis due to undetermined organism. Your diagnoses also included Mixed Hyperlipidemia, Flu, Abnormal Ekg, Cystitis, Metabolic Encephalopathy.” When they released me all tests were negative for that list of conditions.
