Help Me Heal: Overcome Sepsis and Pain

Donation protected
Hello to Family, Friends, and Strangers, back in February of this year on a Tuesday nite I was in horrible pain but I thought it was my IBS issues and I took my medicine along with pain medicine to see if this would make me feel better. About an hour passed and it did and I took a shower and got into the bed, but little did I know that in a few hours the pain I had experienced was nothing compared to what was coming. Around 5:30 a.m. the pain was so bad that I couldn't even sit up so I got up and took something to see if that would help me with the pain like it had done earlier, it helped enough to help me fall asleep again. Around 8 a.m. later that morning the pain woke me up to pain I'd never imagined anyone could have that this time nothing was helping, to make a long story short I called my sister and told her my symptoms and she thought I might me passing a kidney stone so I thought I'd wait to see if that was it, but little did I know that my health was taking a turn for the worse and Kevin said I'm taking you to the hospital but the pain was so horrific that I just couldn't move, so KaTanya said I'm calling an ambulance and that's what happened. I got to the hospital and only God knew that was the right choice because my colon had been ripped open and air, blood, and fecal matter had filled my stomach up and I was septic. If I had gotten to the hospital and hour later my loved ones would have been planning my funeral, but I had emergency surgery and was in the hospital for 3 1/2 weeks in pain i never imagined that I could have. So if you guys could find in your hearts to help me out until I get back on my feet I'd appreciate it so much. I have a colostomy for the next 4-6 months and have to see another GI doctor for the next step. My daughters, Kevin, Mama, and family have helped and stayed with me but it's not over yet especially with more Dr appointments and I'm still in so much pain, and the truth is I thank the good Lord that he loved me to keep me here with my loved ones but I'm so so tired of this pain. So again thanks if you can help and thanks if you can't but wish you could. LOVE & HUGS TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ❤️‍❤️
