Well, I'm home from the hospital. Thanks to my wonderful friends from afar, my apartment is filled with flowers. Doing this entire surgery on my own is hell.

I'll write a more detailed update when I'm able.

💌 If you want to send me some cheer, I would love Audible Credit for books to listen to during my recovery. My email is: botanistfalconer@gmail.com 💌

‘Happy’ re-birth-day to me

Today it was the third anniversary of when I died twice due to Sepsis but survived. I shared this message on WhatsApp and Facebook with very little acknowledgment. That’s left me feeling really depressed, upset, hurt and unloved. Why did I have to survive? Was it worth it? #SepsisSurvivor #Disability #Depression #lonely #Ileostomy #AnxietySymptoms #Suicide #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain #septicshocksurvivor

Hello all ya Mighty people

I’m on from Denmark so bear with me if I make mistakes as English is not my native language.

As a very very lucky survivor of both septic shock and severe ARDS, I have been inspired by the Mightys challenge to share my 3 most radical acceptances ... here goes :

1. The small : I WILL accept now and finally, that my mom, dad and sister - and several more - will never ever try to understand and respect the battle I fight every single day just to get through the day

2. The medium : this should be easy, but I have to remember to count my BLESSINGS even when extreme exhaustion, ICU flashbacks, death-anxiety, brain fog and despair are drowning out all other emotions !

3. The big one : I AM A MIRACLE - I survived something that kills more than 75% and my own GP says he’s never known anybody to survive this! SO EVERY SINGLE DAY IS A MIRACLE - and I will meet it as such, despite ptsd, anxiety, brain fog and exhaustion!

Has anybody made a written declaration of their own radical acceptance statements to hang and better to remember on the really bad days ?

Love to ya all from me 😍
