3 months ago I ended up on life support in ICU and in a medical coma for 20 days. I had peritonitis, sepsis, kidney failure and Staphylococcus. I couldn't breathe alone and I very nearly died. When I was eventually woken up from a living nightmare (I hallucinated constantly whilst in the coma) and found myself covered in tubes and cables and attached to machines. I had a tracheostomy that left me with a nasty scar and drains in my abdomen. I had undergone 4 more surgeries and procedures and I was critically ill (as the doctors and nurses kept telling me).
I fought hard to get well as quickly as I could. And after 30 days I was able to go home. Still weak, still with nasty wounds on my abdomen but alive.
Today I celebrate my 46th birthday. I lived to see this day and I so nearly didn't.
I am so lucky. My husband had visited me every single day. My mother travelled hundreds of miles every week to come and soothe my aches and pains. My friends came to see me bearing tasty cooked food. I found out who my true friends actually were. And I am grateful for them all.
When I got home one of my cats was pining for me. Little Tiny had thought I was gone forever and she stayed with me for days after I got home, cuddling me and meowing constantly. She is my baby and I adore her.
And there is this community here on Android Central forums. I spoke to a couple of members who I have connected with and they were so supportive. I am grateful for them and for this community as a whole.
So on this day of celebration I thank you all. And I thank God for saving my life.
Happy Birthday to me.
