How can you be blindsided by something you already know about? Have you ever had one of those days, when something you already knew about, comes up and blindsides you, just hits you hard, sending you into a spin?
Today is one of those days. It’s been 7 years since I’ve survived sepsis and yet I'm still waiting to be myself again, still figuring out how to deal with the cognitive issues, PSS, PTSD,and panic attacks. I know this about me, I know I've had these issues since sepsis, they are not new. So why then, do I feel my world crashing in all over again when I receive a letter from my Doctor, stating "this is a life-long issue I will always have, so I cannot server on a jury".
I know all this to be true, but seeing it in writing somehow has sent me into ….. a time of grieving. wondering again, what does the future hold, what will it look like? I don’t feel like me, I don’t recognize myself. How long before I understand the ”new“me?
Do you or someone you know struggle with Post Sepsis Syndrome? What helps you? what does your journey look like? #sepsissurvivor
