Update on where I've been
Hello queers and dears, and those who do not wish to be perceived ❤️
TW; medical talks, hospital
I've been very absent the past few weeks, and missed a bunch of tickletober posts...
Unfortunately this is because I ended up in the hospital with Sepsis from my reproductive surgery.
Sunday a few weeks ago I began to feel really crappy and was in a lot of pain, thankfully I work in the medical field so I already knew what I was likely dealing with-- infection in my incision-- but I had no idea exactly how far it had advanced. I called my surgeons office Monday as soon as they opened.
I was sent straight to the hospital after they took my vitals. my heart rate was sky rocketing in my surgeons office, and by the time I was in an exam room in the ER my resting heart rate was 125bpm.
I was admitted to the hospital for sepsis, and on IV antibiotics. I think all total I did 16 bags of antibiotics? It was two interchangeably every 4 hours.
Either way, this was the scariest thing I've ever personally gone through... I gave my mom, my brother, friends, and partner more grays than they already had ^^;
Sepsis is a very scary thing, it takes no time at all for it to turn. I was extremely lucky to have caught it when we did.
My stubborn ass was going to work on tickletober still (granted I knew I wouldn't finish all of them) but I also got discharged on the pill form of my IV antibiotics and well... They kicked my ass. ._. bad. I've done so much sleeping since leaving the hospital trying to recover my body ^^;
So unfortunately... I made the decision to cancel tickletober to just focus on not ending up back in the hospital, I have one final tickletober fic nearly ready to post. I plan to have it out in the next few days, I'll probably work on it tomorrow over my lunch break at work. After that, I'm gonna take a small break from posting to get back to normal.
I still plan to do the two prompts I posted the poll about, I'll just post them as standalones versus being part of tickletober.
I'm sorry for not getting to finish the event... next year I'm aiming to participate in tickletober and complete the month. 🤞🏻
I'm doing better now, I'm still pretty tired, and my stomach is obliterated from all the antibiotics, but I'm a lot better than I was. The infection is all gone now thankfully.
Alright, I'm gonna go eat some food, regret my life's decisions, and play Minecraft or something.
Thank y'all so much for the love and support ❤️ I appreciate it!
