Last year, around this time, I collapsed and was taken to the hospital. I contracted pneumonia, wasn’t responding to most antibiotics, the went septic. This is supposedly uncommon for someone in their late 30’s.
The doctor’s suspected a rare form of MRSA that can attack the lungs. I was isolated in ICU, pumped full of the latest, greatest and most expensive antibiotics. Two weeks, and $35K later, I was released from the hospital. I took me at least another 2 months to feel normal again.
Needless to say, my family was very concerned since the doctor’s gave me a 60% chance to survive.
The doctor’s never did figgure out how or where I may have picked up the virus. I am just thankful that is was not passed on at the time to my 6mos old son or wife.
